Busy as bees

12 - 13 October 2018

Work continues in all areas.  Panos has come to help, firstly digging out the earth round the Solar to keep the wood from rotting, and then he and Dmitri will give the exterior its annual whitewash.  Rowan and Jade are working on the woodwork in the Solar, and Paris has joined us to help paint woodwork in the bedroom.

 I bought a tin of nice paint for some of the detail in the bedroom and elsewhere around the house.  It's a pale blue-green.  Here it is on the plywood panels at the top of the wall over where the bedhead will be.

 Paintwork in the bedroom - the little triangle of glass over the door - surrounded by lots of fiddly wood bits botched up with filler and paint.

 Jade and Rowan working on the Solar frame

 Paris second-coating the cupboard.  Just over her head is the forgotten ceiling panel, that one, and one on the other side.  We put in the central one because of the light fitting, and then just forgot there were two others yet to do.  Add it to the snag list!

 Whitewashing mostly finished, and the tape starts to come off - always a good moment!

Rowan fixes a soffit board under the glass lip - for support and to hold the guttering.
