Heart Ache

Tonight I'm aching from stretching, lifting, pushing, carrying, tightening and building. My 19 year old son who has a good inch or two on me helped me for 6 hours today as we began constructing a 2 car garage (which is in fact a glorified tent) in our backyard.

6m x 7m, it is made of steel posts which all need to be bolted together and positioned correctly to allow the tenting fabric to be drawn over (next Sunday's effort if its not raining) thus allowing us shelter for what will become our next car when it arrives in a few weeks time. We didn't quite get it all completed today and there are still holes to be dug, posts hammered in and fabric to be  put up, but today's effort was impressive for two blokes who aren't really construction-bent in their thinking or day to day existence. So the muscles are aching tonight, which means staying awake a little longer and blogging furiously.

Burn brightly, Pete.
