Im a patient woman. I live in a building site and dont complain while he tells the UK Woodworking chatgroup why they shouldnt be using routers, puts up shelves for his mum, insists he has to dig the allotment NOW. I believe him when he says he’s researching building construction on the internet. But now Grimsdale has spent about 3 weeks making ….. (duh-duhduhderderrrrrr!!!!) sawhorses!!!
Not just ordinary sawhorses. These have double splayed legs which are also square in plan while the section has to be rhomboid. They can only be made after masses of geometrical and trigonometrical calculation. You have to work out the dihedral he tells me over tea, either with a calculator or by drawing. It’s the fundamental exercise you have to go through in setting out a roof.
Yes but, we had the roof done by a proper roofer when we still had some money. Why the dihedral etc etc?
He needed to make the sawhorses so he had something to put the windows on! Silly me. This is the year of the windows. It’s the end of November and there are 10 more to do. I spect we’ll get there.
