I
began to vac up the soot and apply card - however, the wood board I
had expected was only a large piece of stiff cardboard and even with
the new card did not hold nicely at all. I dashed out to the poly
tunnel to find a piece or perspex, as there were no stronger
cardboard boxes in the closet.
Giving
myself a few minutes break, I perused the job I hoped to complete
later in the day - 3 wall-closets in the kitchen were stuck shut when
I painted them. I had not bothered for a while, but now I have
accumulated more cooking utensils, the dresser isn't very roomy. My
plan for later in the day being to force them open and clean them out
- all 3.
In
the meantime, I continued to work on the fireplace. My handy helper
ate much of the soot and debris stashed behind the 'board' which I
was then able to push back into place before I could apply and fix
the perspex to secure it.
The
job was already taking longer than anticipated, necessitating glances
into the lower hallway to check on the time, as I had a 10am
agreement to take an elderly friend for a walk.
