Small hands

I had a very brief session on the scaffolding at the end of the day having got the timbers scorched up. It looked like rain and I was worried the dentistry or tree surgery from the other day would suffer a relapse, so I wanted to cover it with some copper clading. The owner of the place kindly helped me out by painting up the timbers with preservative while I was up top. He claims to be useless at manual work and boasts of having very small hands. Nevertheless I am grateful of all help, however small the hands that give it. The timber is now camped out at the site awaiting developments tomorrow.
