Edging the stairs

Today has seemed like slow progress however it's been lots of annoying fiddly things that take a long time to complete.

First for the day was to get the strip attached below the highest step that they had been fighting with yesterday. Halil again heated that rod over and over again during the day to melt holes through the carpet. The strip really did finish up that step nicely. Next up was the super fiddly job of putting the edge on the steps on the open side. This involved cutting and bending and drilling and melting and drilling and hammering and screwing. Over and over again. By the end of the day they had completed all that side. Tomorrow I think they'll be working on the other side of the steps.

At lunch time I took Mo the Mower out onto the top bank and cut down the dry grass which were covered in seeds and had been sticking to Rosie who has been enjoying playing with Dutch and Xena up there.

So there it is. Back tomorrow and thanks for reading.
