What have you been doing today?

What equipment do you need for the job? I. E. have you had to buy or hire stuff that you'll never use again?

No special tools needed, they sell kits by area of roof, 10 sq mtr 20sq mtr etc, that takes care of the matting, resin, topcoat and hardener, then it's just deciding what pre-formed profiles you need for the edges, then loads of buckets, rollers, brushes, all cheap disposable stuff which you can only use once obviously. The tricky part is once you add the hardener to the resin, you've only got about half hour before it starts to go off, so you need everything set up ready, you haven't time to go looking for something, and then go like the clappers.

Finally finishing my kitchen, adding plinths and end panels. One more bit to do, all done with a fine hand saw, so slow progress, and never done it before.

Planted out my runner beans, sprouts, purple sprouting broccoli, green kale, red kale, cabbages, cauliflower and broccoli and a couple of rows of beetroot. Made them safe with my Home made anti-butterfly cages. Well pleased with my efforts. Just got to sit and watch them grow. :mrgreen:

oh aye - and the end of the TV series 'Blood' 9/10, been a good well watchable series.

Are you cycling 150 per week?
averaged 158 so far this year, target 7500 miles for the year. Sounds utterly implausible I know, I'm utterly bemused at how far I can go, very slow, average about 10mph - all a bit odd really. Not even interested in doing exercise of being fit, just love been out in the countryside. Probably not even a proper cyclist, don't have any lycra or wear a nappy, in fact not really sure I like cyclists, have you ever been on a cycling forum? jeezis wept
