Nothing to report today unfortunately the wife has had me sorting the house out and doing DIY!! Gggrrrrrrrr.

[Awamckay]

i managed to get an hour in the man cave this evening

so i started by removig snapped studs out of my external hinges, what a job that turned out to be, ended up having to drill and tap one of them.

 

 

then i cleaned up and painted my switch panel that arrived in the post today, so not a total waste of a day doing the houswork, lol

 

 

hopefully get a full day on her tomorrow :)
