WAYWT - The Hard Labour Edition aka "Working in your workwear".

[Denman John]

I have a bunch of chainsaw work this week limbing trees, so I best start at the beginning…

Dang, @RoxRocks86. Sounds like you had your work cut out for you on this one! I hope that the client was properly grateful when she realized you got the job done right.

This morning my son and I assembled a couple of new wheelbarrows. It was a good day on so many levels ~

[Giles]

Nice barrows

A real wheelbarrow made by my great grandfather who was a Wheelwright.

Been working at a house built in the 30’s. Helping a carpenter repair & prep windows and wall panels with peeling paint, wood rot, termite & water damage. At least the view ain’t too bad…

Edit- wearing IHT’s in both & 777-18oz

[tody]

@RoxRocks86 That view is indeed something to be jealous about!

[Denman John]

It kinda looks like I’m working…

[endo]

@Denman-John I also have a Stihl string trimmer, probably the most used tool on my property

[RoxRocks86]

Still at this old house prepping walls & windows, but installed cabinet pulls and a medicine cabinet amongst other things today to break the monotony, yay.

6.5oz LS IHT

@RoxRocks86 You are such a kind and generous person - thanks for sharing and inspiring!!

We have a property with a low ass crawl space and that’s where the furnace lives. Belly crawl about 25 yards to the opposite end of the footprint to swap the filter. Yup…

[flannel slut]

@Mizmazzle my imagination would run wild under there. Good on you making it out

[twin]

@Mizmazzle Don't get stuck under there.

The last week we've been working on these Lodge Cottages in West Sussex. The roof has ornamental patterned tiles on the roof so we are remmoving all moss then applying a special treatment to restore the tiles to their original colour. Wearing my 777 invitational pair.

[Mizmazzle]

@jiminstitches so scared of heights myself. I’d rather be under the house than on top of it!!

[RoxRocks86]

@jiminstitches yikes! Hate roofs with those types of pitches! Putting the denim to good use tho

[JunkPants]

@jiminstitches Nice, and that explains the great incoming fades!

After 2 weeks of never ending sanding, bondo, priming, more sanding, more bondo, more priming, & lots of vacuuming, the carpenter & I finally finished prep on this old house. Whilst there electrical, plumbing, & solid surfaces (counter tops in the kitchen & bathroom) got done. Helped where needed. Been working 10 hr week days & weekends at this spot, and ended up working night shifts in different places for different contractors just to make sure this job gets handed over to the next crew in a timely manner. I’ll need to go back after painters and floor guys to install finish hardware, but happy all the things that needed to be fixed and patched is done. Some jobs seem like they just never end. Sadly missed my vacation for F1 Nagoya (happening this week(end)) but already planning the next one. FYI my drive to work is just to play

[jiminstitches]

@Mizmazzle yeah im not great with them eitherwe do a lot of work at height and a lot of the UK buildings are very old and awkward with no safety points to anchor on to.

@RoxRocks86 Yes all though the extra gravity helps with the moss removal on this occasion. Your photos are great! Putting plenty of hours on your pair

@JunkPants Its a job trying to keep them clean
