Another full working day with Alan and Steve cladding the remainder of the rear wall as I formed the architrave and skirting for the rest of the kitchen and then went up to the living area and did the skirting there.

Another early morning as I was only just ready to join Alan when he arrived at 7.30am. Steve came much later at 8.30am after making the trip up from Sawtry again. I got Steve sanding and staining the cladding whilst Alan continued to help me with the fixing as I cut the door linings for the kitchen cupboards. Then, as the weather improved, Alan joined Steve to finish off preparing the cladding planks that they needed and then, after lunch, they started putting it up and, by dusk, had completed the remainder of the rear wall which looked very good. I cut and formed the architrave and skirting for the rest of the kitchen and then went up to the living area and did the skirting there.

I ended the day getting Steve to use his skill-saw to rip the sections that I needed for the window sills and linings and then used some of these to form one kitchen and one upstairs window. A good working day and another in store for tomorrow. I heard from both Diana and Daniel today and I was pleased to hear that, not only was Daniel and Angela planning to come here tomorrow in the afternoon (though more for my tools than for me) but will also come home for lunch on Sunday.
