Still lathing

Monday 16 Sept 2013

While Rob and Tanya were recovering from their journey, we continued with the house.  At this point there were two weeks before Mum arrived, to be our first proper visitor staying in the house.  (Richie camped out in the studio hut - due to his nocturnal activities).  We had no walls in the bedroom, and the rainy season had begun. 

We had finally run out of spare wood to make into laths, so a visit to the woodyard was required.  They did some precision cutting for us - with a chainsaw, but at least the short lengths fitted into the car, so the Punto wouldn't take off in a gust.  It was a day of strong winds, and more rain forecast, so when we got home we hoisted some old sails we'd been given, to protect the gable ends.
