Building aches!
After being considered by my wife and some astro friends as being one of the best procrastinators around. I have finally started work on my roll off roof observertory.
I will post some images and text in another thread. The purpose of this post was just to get some feed back to my thoughts!
I'm mid 40's, reasonably healthy for a smoker. I work 10 hour shifts in a reasonably physically demanding job and get through ok.
Why then, after 3 days working on my observerory, basically framing the inside of a garden shed and getting the rails up and I can barely move without some involuntary grunt. It even hurts just sitting here typing.
I find it fascinating that just doing something a little out of the ordinary can have a big effect on you. In this case phyically, but mind you I woke at 4.30 this morning, with a new idea on how to make my adjustable rail post supports.... So may be just not the body being over worked!
As I sit here, having a refreshing cold one and thinking, is this really all worth it? I come to the conclusion "yes" cause I've pained over the plans and idea's for 18 months or so and to sit here and look at what I've acheived, I'm quite happy and very sore.
Thus, there's not really a question, just me venting and getting some thoughts out of my head. Tomorrow is the big test of getting the roof frame made and making sure it all fits in the rails. Hopefully all goes well!
