Pebble on beech!
Did I just hear someone groan? behave yourselves! After disgracing myself yesterday I worked late into yesterday evening to get the beech-style flooring for my new digital workroom near to completion. This morning, after being on my knees for most of yesterday, I could hardly move, but I had to get on with it so by lunch time today I had completed all the fiddly bits. The next phase will be to start building the new workstation and fit enough enclosed wall cupboards to house most of my collection of history books.
Oh, and the pebble? That was given to me by a camera-club and flickr friend Brian, who was concerned I might not have a pebble when I needed one most.

Just the beginning. The pennies are for spacing. The boards are 1 1/2"'s wide.....and this is taking a long time!
