As global warming continued its icy grip on our workplace,the subzero temps forced the workies and I inside to work on some plaster coving repair. To try and take the edge off the low temps a fire was lit in an unfinished fireplace and after a while creaky fingers and joints became slightly more flexible. Once working up at ceiling level it soon became apparent that escaping smoke made even a couple of minutes work rather difficult as stinging eyes reduced vision to a minimum. A quick choice between plasterwork or freezing was made and the workies and I settled at floor level cutting templates for future mouldings, sometimes you have to keep the chaps happy...and warm!

What's up with you,having a fire to keep your guys warm don't you think your pampering your staff :-),went past as usual, the main road surface is badly damaged with the ice and frost,what a difference a week makes,the only road which is a bit difficult is the side road by the fishing lake just past Raby,I didn't hear any explosions over the weekend so I presume you didn't try to put your trees in the ground.
Have you gone soft or something!
cracking fire looks toasty but very smokey. i see your workies are proud to be british as they wear their flag with honour.
Brew time and bacon butties...
Seems one project after another there.
Hang on a minute there Monkey...even I hadn't checked out R's bum!
I rate coving as one of the most frustrating jobs ever.
And I have the bruises to show for it...
