hah, and I was just starting to realise and think about how can we evacuate the long timber upstairs ... and into some rooms (do we have enough room to maneuver at corners etc.)
With the longest boards, I think it will be a single board at a time, 2 people!!!
BTW, up until just a few weeks ago, my BH used to walk anything between 12 and 20 km each day (6 days a week). Now it's considerably less. So, I'm sure he'll jump at this opportunity (not!) ...
Sounds like (yet another) trip to Bunnings ... they have some great soft leather gloves !! Might go to Blacktown (if you haven't taken all of their underlay )
