A lot depends on the weather: weeding/cultivation becomes impossible when wet and stuff stops growing in winter absorbing some of the moisture. It was nice yesterday - I even picked some raspberries, but is has been very wet otherwise lately.
The main jobs are to fix the kitchen window to stop slugs crawling through into the kitchen; a new sill has been bought, wood filler, preservative and paint.
Finish off the bathroom: box in bath, a new cupboard then tile the new panels.
Put a new roof on an outbuilding that leaks all over so it can be used again. Would be good for garden machinery. II bought the corrugated Iron for the job a few months ago .
In the list below the numbers are estimate in hours. Then at the bottom is the total x 2 as I'm not good at estimating. Then the number of days is for 5 hour days. So I need about 50 good days between now and spring. And not all jobs are there as I've not got planting out garlic or autumn onions. The table on the right is the plan for tomorrow, the weather is looking better.
In the jobs list 'prepare ....' defines an area of land that needs clearing of weeds/is overgrown.
Well, that's next weekend sorted Mark, what are going to do for the rest of the winter? I bet Veggie is well impressed, you know how much she loves a spreadsheet.
