If it's at the house, he might be attempting to build one of those rose gates, those archways with climbing roses? Though Mycroft is notoriously *not into field work* (in canon and in the show) so he is probably *planning* a thing and then getting *other people* to build it.
Maybe he's building, or repairing, an old boat. For the lake. I can see him having been a big fan of Wind in the Willows and all he wants to do is mess about in a boat, far away from all the noise and general ridiculousness.
Or a boat in a bottle. Bet he'd like doing that. I wonder if he's snuck a little pirate figure into it, just for his own amusement.
