Just possible


Back up on the scaffolding today doing a bit of dentistry on one end of a beam that had gone rotten. The left end of the beam in the photo back on September 16. The attachment base of the light had made it a permanent nasty damp spot. I made up a filling and inserted that with some glue and screws. The filling also has a mortice in it ready for a support pillar to be added on. Once the work above is completed I will put a copper cap over these parts to give them some protection from the weather.
It took a while to chisel the gunk out so I tried various poses for the job including one where the left leg got a bit disjointed as I was standing on a bit of wall lower down.
