Non-biking for me (again).
Worked like a dog all weekend either on other people's houses or mine. Wife very happy.
Didn't manage one bit of cycling or motorcycling. I was going to get the CB500 back in action with the aid of the new indicators I bought at Stafford, but time ran out :(
One good thing learned this evening, (whilst having a restorative bath and read of a book on timber-framed buildings) apparently another name for a steep lean-to roof is 'cat-slide roof'. I'd never heard that before and it made me chuckle.
I also read up on the tie beam lapped dovetail assembly (dovetail, mortice, tenon, all sorts of mularky) used in most timber-framed houses and pondered how many modern chippies could knock one of those up in a working day?
I'm off to the pub now to get rid of the taste of black mortar and MDF.

No biking here either :-\
Lots of tidying up and decorating. Got my Landy and swmbo's Imp tucked away out of sight of the front of the house ready for the estate agents photos.
Had a look at a couple of possible houses, one is not bad but only a single garage and a carport, one has a cracking big double garage, actually better than the one I have now so that's bound to be sold by the time we sell ours ::) would be nice though..
Looking forward to going to work tomorrow for the short bimble on my bike followed by a relax!!

No biking here either! All weekend spent plastering out a small walk-in cupboard and landing.
Did order some parts through ebay that'll let me get on with cleaning Abigails motor and rebuilding the brake callipers. Once I can re-build the rear one I can get on with working out how the hell I'm going to mount it to the bike. Mr Stringer... Stand by your lathe ;D
