Metal Roof Helps Make a Sturdy House.

[Photo: Somewhere in Wortley Village - more books, more trades]

Last Friday I carefully loaded my Civic up to the gunwales with necessary supplies: Shovels, a tarp, power drill, level, pair of heavy gloves, the last Little Free Library for 2018 (and beyond, very likely) and a couple of used books for future fair trade. And off I went to dig a hole.

The week before that day, however, the workshop was a busy place. The metal roof needing edging, as did the front, sides and back, door latches and signage had to be attached, and more boxes had to be checked before I could say 'voila' and grab my trusty spade.

Roof trim and signage to finish before installation

The roof had been the hard part. The rest of the parts flew into place - old pine and western cedar trim, nothing upside-down or backwards!

The two-foot deep hole appeared quickly. The five-foot pole was planted and levelled. The collar/platform was attached in a relative jiff, with help from two eager neighbourhood children.

"Can I use the drill?" said the sister. "Me too," said the younger brother.

"Sure, I'll just start things off for you."

Teamwork completed, I lifted the library onto the platform and secured it with four hidden screws. Had somebody yelled Bingo I would have said Thumbs Up.

"T'umbs Up!" I say.

Next project? 

We shall see what we shall see.
