More progress at the Rocket Factory


I started off by finishing the loft floor: all the panels are screwed to their joists, and I cut some long, thin strips to fit into the edges. Then I built a stair unit up to the platform for the loft ladder. It is mounted on hinges so we can swing it up and out of the way when we’d rather have more work space. After that I demolished the rickety, cobbled-together shelf across the west wall, and built a new work table to go in its place. It was a productive day. I keep thinking of my grandfather as I work on this place.
