Keeping Busy Whilst Self Isolating
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:15 pm
Whilst being home for virtually 2 weeks already, have finished the kitchen rebuild, (started Christmas), decorated the hall, lounge ,stairs & landing, laid new laminate flooring throughout the hall,lounge and kitchen, 
so leaving me time now to concentrate on the cars 
.
Started yesterday by giving the garage a thorough clear out, being brutal and getting rid of what is basically scrap, and deciding to repaint half the garage floor. This will leave the environment nice and clear to tackle the jobs I want to do., such as Jensen fuel lines, underside of bonnet refurb, and a few little niggly bits and pieces. Front valance for the Cortina ordered, so will fit that when it comes etc etc.
Managed to get the garage floor sorted, can't do all of it at once, due to too much gear in there, and the Cortina still being immovable on a spit. Just before actually putting the paint on the floor, I had to attend a conference call, which has changed my life for the next 2 weeks with virtually very little time to do these jobs. I now have become a critical worker, and will from tomorrow morning, be involved in assisting the army in converting the NEC into a field hospital, which needs to be completed within 10 days.. This will be a massive and stressful undertaking, but hopefully a rewarding one knowing that I'm doing my bit for the country, even though staying at home would be nice. Once all the IT is installed, upto military standard, it will need to be maintained 24hrs/7 days a week, for the foreseeable future. What desperate times we are in at the moment, which can affect us all by just a simple phone call.
Anyway, I managed to get the paint on the floor, but still have numerous items stacked up in the garden, and the Jensen living outside tonight, but will be safe. A couple of photos of before and after.
Send in your photos of what you're upto in your garage, keep them clean please, and of course all look after yourselves and hope to catch up in better times.
