Shortly after writing the previous post, I began to feel distinctly dodgy. I did, in fact have a powerful case of the trots and even went to the extreme, for me, of going home early from work. I had further problems at home that evening and woke on the Tuesday morning feeling like death with a very bad head and wobbly belly. I stayed at home for that day and returned to work on the Wednesday, still feeling bad but head better and not so wobbly. I decided to take some leave and asked for, and received, Thursday and Friday as paid leave. As Wednesday wore on, I began to feel better apart from a feeling of total lethargy and lack of will power.
By Thursday, I began to feel a little more human and on Friday I felt well enough to drive Hazel to the hospital for her Occupational Health interview. It all went well, we did some shopping and had a pleasant meal later.
On Saturday, I began to cut the 3 ply sheet for Sallys new set and also put together the first tower section. It's good to see my idea works and is also very strong. This week I hope to build the second unit and the various joining pieces in order to test the system. Once that hurdle is jumped, it's just a matter of mass producing the lengths of wood on the chop saw and cutting the rest of the four foot strips of ply.
