Saturday Sunday, Dee made a stunning start to the rooms for our upcoming guests, I was co-opted to drill holes and put in screws for a plate wave, a Zanzibar sun and planets and birds…
Monday, B to PE, I did tons of small jobs, glued the giraffe’s head back on (it got blown over), fixed a sofa leg, holes in walls for fish and hangings, repaired a cupboard… we rolled out the carpet, I can’t take my eyes off the staff and Dee and they quickly unpack something…
Tuesday, Dee went to Jo-burg – Olivia’s deck railings
Olivia’s deck
Wednesday – Olivia Deck
Olivia’s deck
Thursday plastering columns and handrail for stairs to Simons’s deck
balustrade
Friday took Bongani to his bus in Humansdorp, when I got back I spent the day doing little things like putting panel heaters in the rooms (replacing those stolen by the gypsy brigade that lived here when the previous guy died.) a screw here and there, fixing a cupboard etc. Dee came home at 21h30ish and we were alone in the house for the 2nd time 🙂
Saturday I “felt the fear but did it anyway”, the angled balustrade on the steps. getting the angles right when you are working on an existing thing is not easy, it would be so much easier to build from scratch.
Sunday – I lazed around in bed for hours, then put up a few pictures and potted around avoiding shopping (the house is empty of staples.)
Zeva chillin after a long day napping!
getting close now to a renovated entrance
