Time

Another month is drawing to a close, but what a month it's been!  The weather has been fantastic here all month, though we could have used a little more rain.  With it being dry the grass isn't growing, so that's given me lots more time to spend working on the Trainbarn!

Coming into the month I was a bit stressed about all the small jobs that needed to be done in the 'barn, most of them involving me!  But being able to spend enjoyable time on the various projects, I'm amazed at what has been achieved.  

All the cables for the electrics have been run and the locations for all lighting and power have been prepared, which is a real milestone!

Not a good photo, but a big achievement!  Eventually I plan to install a toilet here, but needed to frame up the 'room' now, in preparation for the plasterboard.  It worked out great!  So the 'workshop annex' is completely ready for the wall lining (gyprock) which unfortunately couldn't be done this month, but will happen early April.  Then it's painting, architrave, carpeting and more electrics and voila, it'll be ready to use!!

Several years ago I was given some millwork for a double door opening, which I wrote about in this blog entitled 'the first piece', which it literally was.  I've had time now to modify the framing and fit the door jam for the entryway from the reception area into the main display area, and have also (temporarily) fitted the millwork.  It looks fantastic!  I'm not sure that I would've thought of fitting something like this here if I hadn't been given it, but I'm so glad I did!

I've had the time to do lots of other small jobs too, and have enjoyed the process as much as the result.  There's still a lot to do, but it is very much 'getting there'!
