During that time the garage has been transformed – the automatic door has been decommissioned and boarded/sealed up inside, radiators installed, interior walls painted and carpet laid. The only drawback is that the freezer means I still don’t have all-round access, but I can now reach the previously inaccessible goods yard corner, and I no longer bang my head on the sloping roof over the fiddle yard.
On moving in, all the boards were stored in the Railway Work Room (although there was not actually any room for work there!).
- Board 1 Languishing against a wall
- Boards 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 & 9 and an unknown one (5 or 8) behind Board 3. All effectively with "Not to be moved" signs.
Then in February 2024
- Here, the first few boards are being set up.
- Here the turntable/coaling stage area board shows a gap to the right where another board is lying (still legless) between the former board and the window. However the freezer-influenced gap wasn’t really comfortable enough to squeeze along so I decided to move the boards over to the right immediately below the window, and just maintain access to the other 3 sides.
Power to your elbow.
