I did get on to preparing the planks, but it was a bit of a late start to the afternoon. I pushed on to get them all wire brushed, leaving the shop covered in a nice layer of soot.
Today back to the sander trio and the grinder with fine disks. Tomorrow Sammy and I are off to help out with the tidying again. More firewood will result I think, hopefully not too much more hardware as my drawers are full of it.
