0200hrs... So tired I can't sleep!
Thursday a busy day at Men's Shed helping others (On wheely-walker at the moment, so helping abilities are limited).
Yesterday (Friday - yes, I know it's past midnight and it's now Sunday, but you know what I mean) I was Project Manager & drop-saw operator on the realisation of a project Men's Shed has been working on for me since February: outdoor seating at our church.
Saturday spent packing away my drop-saw, drills, & other tools used in construction, then cutting dried timbers for next winter's firewood pile. I'm pooped!
The seating & flower boxes were my concept & design. I figured seating outdoors in shade (during Morning Tea time, anyway) might encourage people to hang around a bit longer to chat.
It worked! The boxes & a stack of loose sleepers were delivered to church last Sunday & single seat sleepers temporarily laid in place but not secured, and people already took their cuppa out to sit on them (not the cups, the sleepers, silly!)
All has now been bolted in place.
Phase 2 is to have some of our more green-thumbed parishoners put soil & plants in the boxes.
BTW, the boxes are 1m x 1m and 3 sleepers high... takes 3 fit men to lift one. Seats are 2.1m sleepers bolted to the sides of the boxes... no legs, so if anyone can undo the Nyloc nuts on coach bolts, all they'll have is a bunch of sleepers.
The whole thing is now a single unit of bolted sleepers & boxes 13.3m long. I'm fairly certain it's not going anywhere.
