So for the past few weeks I have slowly been building shelving for the polytunnel.
My friend, the very talented Richard T, helped start me off, my sister kept me going and now I am on my own.
It is slow, not because I’m a novice carpenter, and now that I have this little beauty, with all the bells and whistles I have no excuse.
No, it’s just that every time I run out of timber I have to wait days for Paul to get the time to mill up a wee bit more. Meanwhile he is busy milling sleepers, cladding and timber for the builds Larch Wood Timber have been commissioned to do , planting Xmas trees, cutting firewood etc. etc.
Maybe my next new skill should be timber milling.
The shelves are for the cell trays of tree seeds.
Seedlings are just coming through that were planted last year and I need to get started on planting hundreds more this Spring.
They give me great joy. It’s amazing that these vulnerable, delicate little shoots can, one day, be big strong trees…. If I look after them properly.
While I’ve been concentrating on the miniscule, Paul, and
his Larch Wood Timber team have been concentrating on the monumental, felling and peeling these tree trunks for their next building project.
It has been very wet and windy here, but, yay, the caravan is now bone dry.
With my new Makita I can’t wait to get going remodelling the interior…when I’ve finished the polytunnel shelving it ofcourse.
