I decided that it was a pity that I couldn't open the silo (wood-store) door when the silo is partly full, without having a cascade of wood-chips all over the floor. So here is the new modular and progressively demountable version:
My first attempt had the bars on the heavy oak outer door fouling the strengthening cross-pieces on the removable planks (which are in fact 1cm plywood). So the bottom one was raised a few centimeters and the top cross-piece dropped a few. Now it's also possible to shut the door.
I also had a go at straightening the line of a dry-stone wall I built down by the solar panels. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture until the work was half way through, so I don't have a proper "before":
But the "after" picture is definitely after:
I was lucky enough to find a very large rock to fill a gap in the new wall. Or perhaps unlucky - I was only just able to move it, by rolling it into the wheelbarrow and levering that upright. The new wall will give us a bit more space outside the shed door. Oh, wait a minute - what shed door?
Still the next small task will probably be clearing up this lot -
Kindly left us by the previous owners. In there is a car door which probably dates from the 1920s or very early 1930s, and I'd guess it has been there since the 1950s. It's not actually on our land but it's an eyesore just the same.
