Dear diary......Well I was quite busy !!
Firstly I woodstained the replacement
Stipes.
Then,(after it had dried) I drilled out several bolt fitment holes....(using the previous
Stipes for location points)
Next i fashioned a new,shorter footrest support....
Replaced the footrest upon the support.
"Yep looks o-kay....!!"
Now the awkward bit.....using the original piece of wood,as a guide,measured and cut the
Stipes to fit inside the door frame .
(
Please,God,let it fit PROPERLY ,this time !!)
Nervous moment as I offered up the wood to the frame.....
It FITS !!
But....the carpet gripper,on the floor is interfering with the actual fit,especially once the two main components are bolted together !!
"Oh....F.F.S !!"
Okay well it was time to get ready for work.....so will resume next day
(once "Her-Downstairs" has gone out.....)
1: Here's what the
Crucifix looks like at present....
2: The problem with the carpet gripper...& where it needs cutting. (support temporarily removed,for access)
