Flat out last 4 weeks mailnly site work hanging doors mending windows, great weather even got a swim in the sea up at waxham. Interesting job on Mount pleasent in norwich, fixing grounds mending stair case and fixing door frames, so that the plasterers could finnish. Watching the lime plaster being applied and the laths being fixed under the stair way was a great pleasure to see. The tradesmen were from Henley Builders in Foulsham, Both were in their 60s. Who are going to replace these tradesmen when they retire?. small job this afternoon making a bird box from chestnut and fixed together with copper nails, looks great. Again lots of timber being sold.
Time to get the next butts planked up now the weather is milder.

Busy couple of weeks. Some timber sales, making and fitting some kitchen shelves, Making an additional top cupboard for a kitchen i had installed nearly 10 years ago, kitchen looking and working as good as the day i fitted it, always good to see projects after all these years.

A couple of days spent hanging a resin and timber door designed and made by John Barnard. A beautiful piece of design and work , I feel very privaledged to be involved in the project, which is to be the entrance door to a new artists studio near stalham.

Involve , again with John Barnard to restore a vennered panel in the council chambers of city hall, which has been there since 1938. Beautiful work.

All ways good to have a variety of work
