Today was about some cleaning up work that needed to happen.
There were lots of handles, with some still to be installed. We have a total of 65 handles, inclding a dozen or so in the bedroom.
Of course the plaster had to be sanded. After running heaters all last night, the plaster was mostly dry enough, but there were patches that he needs to come back to on Monday. Thankfully, he doesn’t expect us to run the heaters all weekend.
Another foggy morning. My body wasn’t really into the exercise so I had a shorter ride. Nice ride tbough. #cycling #Narrabri #Biketooter
The steps at the doorway to nowhere went in today. This is a new door from the (new) kitchen to the garage. We test drove them and found them very satisfactory.
Skirting boards and cornices went in. 130 holes were drilled for the 65 handles that some lucky apprentice will get to screw in.
The plasterer was distressed to find that the plaster board was not drying, so we have heaters running to warm the house up for the comfort of the plaster. As he said, he can’t sand it until its dry, and in this cold weather it is hard to get things dry.
I paid the first payment to the builder today. It only hurt a little bit 😀
Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The early pea-souper gave way to a beautiful morning. I rode to Jacks Creek and Gun Club Roads. #cycling #Narrabri #Biketooter

Today it was all about the trimmings- cornices and architraves.
Tomorrow they finish the architraves and do the skirting boards.
Painters possibly move in on Friday, or on Monday if the builders are still working on Friday.
Kitchen appliances are due to arrive next Tuesday.
Happy days!
