I think you should make a 6 part YouTube mini drama about the making of that! Looking at other forums it's what people do whenever they do something involving material..

Cut out wood. Sanded edges. Applied glue. Stuck wadding down. Stapled back edges, trim. Repeat for blue fabric. Install.

I got maybe 4 minutes of content there, 6 if I stretch it out.

Washed the car. My neighbors had a couple truckloads of dirt delivered and they were shoveling it about with a bulldozer to regrade their yard. So, 4 days on from polishing the car is covered in dirt. Great.

My complaining led to it raining ten minutes after I finished drying the car, naturally.

Still, was nice to go out and get milkshakes, the cool front that blew in briefly was pleasant, makes a change from 30°c nights, was about 22 instead.
