I managed to sheet the garage, at times it was a bit of a struggle. The sheets are awkward and there were pipes and other little obstacles in the way to make it more exciting. I enjoy doing this but I don’t think I could get up every day and do it like I used to, mind you that was nearly 30 years ago.

It’s only when I look back at the video I see just how much off centre I am at times when trying to lift the sheets up but I guess that’s all part of the fun. I slept well that evening or that might have been down to the generous Jura single malt that I had after dinner.

 I didn’t get out on the bike the next day because I was knackered. After breakfast I went back to bed and had a lazy day. I’ve had a few books to get through and I’m reading the “Slow Horses” books by Mick Herron so it was sitting in the rocking chair and drinking coffee.

Following weekend

The next room to insulate is the back bedroom and so instead of ripping off the whole wall I decided to remove as much as I needed to and then push the insulation up behind the existing plasterboard and for the most part it went Ok. I used a bit more insulation than I calculated for but I think this is because I was compressing it a bit too much at times. It will be interesting to see how much difference it makes in the overall scheme of things.

I still have to plaster the joints and paint of course but I’ll get to that in time, at least the insulation is in and My picture is squinty 😅

This morning I didn’t go out on the bike but went for a walk instead. They were predicting rain and so I thought I’d go for a walk and break in my boots that I got in Scotland last time I was there because I really haven’t done much off road walking since I bought them and when I do, I use my boots that are already broken in. So I’ll be heading home in two months’ time and I’ll be taking these as I hope to climb Ben Nevis.
