Having measured the east end gable yesterday morning, James Luke of Crafted Carpentry returned today to carry out his stage of the work.
He parked along the back drive where he cut the material to shape. His Dad, Nick arrived in time to wait
to help lift the large sections of the eaves into place.
In sweltering heat James completed the job on his own.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s moist rigatoni Bolognese sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, and tender green beans, with which I drank Chapter & Verse Shiraz 2023
Glad you are able to find such gifted workmen. As always, dinner sounds wonderful.
Thank you very much, Pat. Barry, our chimney sweep recommended Nick, our painter and decorator, who recommended James, our carpenter – that’s how it works in our trusted community
I sincerely admire that kind of talent and artisanry. My sorry butt needs people like these.
Thanks very much, Ed
Skill and craftsmanship–progress is being made!
Thank you very much, Merril
That looks like a very difficult job, particularly in the sweltering heat.
Thanks very much, Liz.
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Glad the work continues. I appreciate how carefully you and Jackie are looking after your home since you moved there.
Thank you very much, Crystal
Oh, l remember working “in the sweltering heat” days, up on roofs … I look back now and wonder how I coped … hmmm, I was younger and fitter …
That’ll be the answer
Well done, James. Next stage now awaits.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
Good to hear that local connections are providing good results for you.
It is better than reading reviews on the internet.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Dinner sounds delicious! Home care is very important, well done!
Thank you very much, John

Lots of renovation Derrick
Thank you very much, Geeta
It’s good to have a chair when you’ve got a bit of supervising to do!!!
Thank you very much, John
It is great to have the job done so quickly and efficiently.
Thanks very much, Anne
I wonder what the next repair/renovation task will be?
Snap, we also had bolognese last night!
I wonder if you’ve spotted my email yet?
Thanks very much, Sue. I’ll have a look
I love seeing photos of work being done…the stages, the progress, the artistry, the completion, etc! Yay for hard workers who are so gifted and talented! YAY for James and Nick!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Carolyn XX
Despite the heat, the men are doing a terrific job!
Thanks very much, GP
A project in progress while braving intense heat is commendable! Dinner sounds delicious.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
This is quite the project, Derrick. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve moved from torrential rains to sweltering heat. This poor planet of ours.
Thank you very much, Alys
Wow! Quite the project you had going there!!
Thanks very much, Jan
That is hard work in the heat. Good to see your east gable end carpentry project getting done though.
Thank you so much, Lavinia
All your workmen seem professional, diligent, and reliable. I can only wish some of this kind gravitated to South Florida.
Thank you so much, Dolly. I will pass it on
This is almost as much work as my new kitchen! The best people to hire are the ones from word of mouth. It will look so nice when they are done.
Thank you very much, Diane. Agreed
Work seems to be progressing apace
Yes, indeed, Sheree. Thanks very much
