Back from the dark
I have not been active for a while.
The house is finished and we are living in it, the old house is painted and we have it rented out for a while. We haveboth turned 50 and I bought a new bike.
So yes we have been busy but we are now able to spare some time for the enjoyable things in life

Architraves and more
We have about 420 metres of architraces and skirting boards. They need to be cut to size, painted twice, screwed into place, puttyed the screw holes and then repainted. We are well underway and will spend most of the week doing it.
Next week will be vinyl for the ensuite and bathroom walls, the natural gas pipes from the road to the meter location and the kitchen will arrive and be fitted along with the laundry cupboards and the bath deck.
Moving along nicely. Plumber due for end of february.
