Powering ahead

Tues 27 Sept 2015

Regatta over with, Rob and Tanya gone home, and Dave on a strict de-tox, we lurched into action on Tuesday 27 to make the most of having a couple of weeks of Rowan's time.  The weather looking mostly clement, we were aiming to get all the woodwork for the west wall in place ready for baling.

 Rowan started constructing window boxes 

 Paris joined the strength on a mission to clean up the plaster walls in the music room and get three coats of whitewash all round, so it would be all clean and fresh for when my Mum comes to stay in a week and a half

 I tackled this corner to the left of the front door, padding it out with straw held taut under blue plastering mesh, hiding the wood frame so that it will have a soft curve when plastered.

Then Dave and I took the window boxes outside for a coat of protective water-based varnish, and set them around the yard like a strange art installation.
