Making stuff

[crazyscot]

Radio silence for a bit, but I have been busy...

We have a shed. Long story short, we had a builder in to reclad it recently (it used to be asbestos), but reinstating the door was left to us. So I made a new door (actually, a double stable door, so four doorlets) to replace it. Rather than say more here, I wrote it up as a guest post for the Country Skills Blog which will hopefully be appearing soon, along with a sweet lemon pickle recipe (awesomely tasty - will be making more of that!). More photos to follow as we (well, mostly rustica) have been painting this week.

In case you don't read the blog and are curious, I made a few more guest posts the other month (lemonade, lemon liqueur, lemon sorbet and a rather hot lemon pickle recipe - which is itself an adaptation of a lime pickle recipe that miss_next posted a few years ago). Spotting a pattern? Well, we do have a lemon tree, and it provides us with rather a lot of lemons...

Ah, I see, when life hands you lemons, make lemon pickle. Of course!

Ha! You are making your own sheds and lemonades.

Your are almost a perfect kiwi. Now you just need to figure out a way to make both those things using Number 8 fencing wire...
