Nails

The disposal of a couple of bulky yard sale items (goal nets and table football) has freed up space in the barn which, combined with the brighter weather, invalidated my excuses (too dark, too cold, no room to work!) for not making progress with the roof repairs, so today it was full steam ahead, cutting the roofing felt to size, before coming to a grinding halt with the realisation that I had no nails left to affix it in place; for the want of a nail an empire famously fell, but I am made of sterner stuff and after a quick dash to B&Q (and an all-time low spend of £1.96) I was back on task and had the job completed before dark.
