Ladies and gentlemen. At last, the breakthrough.
I finally laid the carpet and underlay today, everything else is just finished but I've a few fine tuning bits to do.
the lathe is being ordered in the morning.
Well...... Here's something to interest you. This is what happened yesterday.
I was undrtaking the fine finish process yesterday which involved a sander and dust extractor running on and off for most of the day sanding the walls, ceilings, doors, etc.
Before I go further, The incident in question involves a next door neighbour who takes great delight in spying on myself and family (I've been made aware of his spying on myself by mum), his abusive threats, bullying techniques, etc. Now the chap in question is over 70 and thinks he owns our home, my workshop and my job lists. you know the type....
What follows will amaze and shock you. All of yesterday, stones were thrown at my workshop, bouncing off the walls and nearly breaking windows, then a torrent of abuse, about an hour or so later he comes onto the property to find my dad towering over him. This guy is hurling abuse at me and targeting my disability, etc. Dad advises him to leave or police will become involved.
This continues.
8PM last night, two of North Wales's finest arrive ringing the door. At this point, we're all settling in for the night and trying to eat. They wanted to find out what was going on and demanded to see my workshop.
Now the workshop is empty, give or take my cordless gear, a sander, the extractor and a small radio while my hifi is stored out of the way for protection. Now luckily one of the officers knows me and we got chatting and resolving the issue which turns out this total plank is moaning about noise. No such thing. the workshop is acoustically insulated, so you don't hear anything other than the odd hum. He told officers I was using a grinder, drills, a bandsaw, etc.
The bandsaw was sold a while back as I'm in the process of replacing it with something better, I don't use angle grinders, etc as I can't stand them. So this guy's basically manure stirring.
The two officers are more than happy with us and the officer who was spending time with me in the workshop to get a feel for things, was amazed. he asked for a replication of the sound levels, so I did so. He said "That's nothing to us lot."
Turns out the copper was a former joiner himself.
anyway that was last night ruined. mum upset when she's supposed to be resting as the radiotherapy is taking it out of her.
So today's gone well.
more to come. new photos up this week. Cant wait? well I'm sorry you'll have to.
