A Day In The Workshop.
by John
One of those days.
Warm night. Restless sleep. Woke at 4:30am. Got up. Dressed. checked the emails, blog, Facebook. Dozed until 8am.
Went to workshop. (15km drive). SWMBO a bit peeved because she assumed that I would install some laundry cupboards and straighten some outside steps at the property which she is preparing for sale. Baby sitting yesterday was fun, but I was thinking about the burner on the Trevithick. So I told SWMBO that I would do an hour or two at her job at the end of the day.
So I went to my workshop, and started mounting the permanent pressure gauge on the Trevithick dredger engine. It was fiddly, not totally satisfactory. I dropped things. I burnt my fingers several times. I could not remember where I had put things 5 minutes earlier. The workshop is really in a mess and I should have just tidied it up. But I didn’t. I had not had breakfast because the bread was mouldy and my normal cereal was empty so I skipped breakfast. Except for coffee of course. I cannot skip that.
Eventually the pressure gauge was mounted. I thought about running the engine on steam and making a video for the blog, but I was just not in the right mood.
I packed up, and went to where SWMBO wanted me, and installed some cupboards. Oddly satisfying. Only took an hour or so. SWMBO was happy. I made some lame excuse why I could not straighten the steps, and went home and had a few reds.
Shit day in the workshop. But sure beats working.
John you have to get the planning right and then the orchestration right, tell you how to do it on Wednesday

My work space and studio are always a mess when I’m at work on projects. I can’t help it. Tables get covered with scattered tools and bits and pieces until I run out of space or can’t find things. Then I take a bit of time to reorganize, put things away and sweep up. Nevertheless, I seem to thrive on clutter. Lucky for me (in some ways) my partner is the opposite, so home is quite orderly. Keep cool!
