Why does a 'simple' job turn into something more difficult?
Cleaning the conservatory guttering this morning has turned into "what's that bit coming off?", which has become "that's a BIG hole".
Wood filler, conservatory paint plus other bits now needed; I'll cut a wood section to fit and fill round that, possibly adding some cable trunking. On the plus side I needed to make a hole through the wood to fit a power cable through, and the hole's almost big enough for a plug, let alone a cable. Because of my damaged hand it didn't get painted last year and is showing signs of needing to before the winter the conservatory will also be painted.
Given this was the first job before sorting out the decking, doing decorating, and fitting a kitten-proof panel to the garden gate I'm going to be busy for a few days ...
... oh, and my kettle's leaking. Not out of the top either.
