I'm sure she is badly shaken as well as bruised. My 95 year old dad did exactly that two months ago. Badly bruised also and nothing broken. Very miserable for the first days; couldn't find a comfortable way to sit or lie in bed. He made a full recovery and was digging the garden two weeksd later and walking his daily four miles by the end of the month.

Thanks Ken, kind of weird - I have been having this feeling she was gonna fall down the stairs one day, then the other day she woke me I was in the bathroom and herd the "bump bump bump bump" and her cry out - I didn't even have time to dress I was helping her fully starkers, got her onto the sofa and checked for no breakages - she was just real saw backs of her legs.

Old Collingwood Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share #1336 Posted August 21, 2021 Evening all, so in between doing some nursing - I have made a wee bit more progress, I have started on the front/gate section - this includes the Dovecote/doors and even the walls with firing holes made in the walls where the KGL dug out some bricks using thier bayonets. Firstly I had to do some alterations to make the whole dovecote complex less wide and deep - some measurements and cutting was required, then glued in place, the the roof section was made up using the frame, then the inside wall has an inner section to thicken the wall, this was glued in place. Its an interesting stage and enjoyable making the alterations due to the inner courtyard now being more square and smaller in size. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share #1344 Posted August 22, 2021 Thought I would give some observations of the farm complex as I have nearly completed all the buildings and wall sections - The Farmhouse is construscted too narrow and the wrong upper floor height - the dormer windows should be at head hight on the first bedroom floor level. The inner courtyard floor plan is wrong - as built its not square but near a rectangle (this required the one section of stables to be shortened) this introdueced new problems by throwing the rest of the buildings out. The Barn is too long (after altering the stables) and too wide - it looks massive. To allow more room towards the dove coted entrance between it and the Barn - I had to narrow the depth and width of the dove cote entrance, this took some cutting and fiddling of parts. The wall between the Barn and front wall needs to be shortened now that the stables side has been shortned (to keep it all square with each other). Who said kit bashing was easy lol. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share #1347 Posted August 22, 2021 Evening all, a bit more progress still with the dove cote and front wall section - I started off by applying a few coats of White on the insides of the dove cote and wall, then I picked out the bricks on the inside - and done my trade mark sand morter, and picked out the bricks on the outside - next will be the White on the outside wall. And the dove cote roof had its flashing applied the a few coats of Grey followed by my dirty wash - then flat coated.

Old Collingwood Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share #1350 Posted August 23, 2021 Evening all, some good progress on the dove cote wall - with several coats of White then the Black inner bricks, followed by some washes and dirt - just needs the doors painted/weathered and fitted and then the side wall will be worked on. I dry fitted this section to the main front to check for square (where the Two meet) and to get an idea how it looks.
