I've not posted in a while for various reasons as I am in the process of making some changes to my business going forward. These are a couple of small jobs done recently first was a cupboard to cover the fuse board. Customer preferred to have no handle so fitted a touch latch instead and wanted a shaker door made the proper way compared to faker shaker doors. That everyone has these days.
This job was in bainton as they had an old greenhouse which I removed for them earlier on this year to use at my allotment if I ever get round to put it up.
The second job was in market deeping just removal of old shed and contents. Not the thing I normally do but me and the wife did there shopping for them during lockdown so he didn't know who else to ask.

A little while back me and my wife were lucky enough to get a plot at Deeping allotments after speaking to one of our neighbors who had there own plot and advised us to put our name down on the waiting list.
It's still a working progress as I pop down when I can or in-between jobs. The shed we had before I couldn't fix but I've managed to build compost bins out of it aswelll as other things. I was also lucky to buy the timber I needed before everything shot up in price . I still have the raised beds to do as we've opted for the no dig policy so we will see how that goes .
It has also been a great help to me recently after a few things that have been going on and of. Of late some personal and some work related. Which meant I had to step back from the business for a short while and will need to makes some changes going forward with my business.
We do have some well established fruit trees and it will be nice to grow some vegetables and not just weeds as with everything that is going up in price .

This is a stair refurbishment I carried out for a young couple in Stamford. Via a recommendation from Joe Elliott electrician.
First job was to remove the carpet and boarding in the underside cupboard and fix the excessive movement in the stairs.
Then remove old handrails, spindles and newel post, with something more appropriate including a diminishing handrail so it confirms with building regs. Re board cupboard re fit carpet as a temporary measure as it's being replaced and do some minor alterations in the kitchen.

I'm sharing this article from our local magazine, written by the home owners, Dave and Olwyn, as I'm chuffed to see my name mentioned as one of the voluntary helpers for the house that Deeping built.

The article reads
"... Again trying to find a tradesman to help with the stud walls, was almost impossible but Richard Edgington, a local joiner and carpenter, came to the rescue. Richard has already made the window templates for the builders to work to and now he came to help and advise on the stud wall construction, which after one incorrect wall had to be taken down and re built between us, Olwyn and I, successfully built all the interior stud walls."

I also popped back once everything was decorated to fit the internal oak veneered doors

Couple of small jobs done. First one at the allotment in Deeping. Due to a break in recently I had to put the job on hold but have been back again there today to change the exterior door and frame and replace one of the internal doors as I didnt have enough glue to stick it back together as the little darlings who got into the club house had a smashing time.
The other job also in deeping was a repair to an exterior door frame and fix the pergola.

Little job done for a customer in Dowsdale bank. I think it's 10 years since I last worked on a staircase not something I do very often even when I have worked for other people. But as I know the couple as they own a car garage in deeping I thought I would help them out as they have always looked after me when I've needed work done on my vehicles. This was the last job that needed doing on there extension.
