Weekend debrief

[guest7]

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
