We have finished the work on the walls, and also spent a lot of time repairing the sliding sash window. It turned out that the window frames are in a sad state, and will eventually need to be remade. In the meantime, we want to move on and ignore the problem. Next week we will install the last of the gib on the opposite wall.
I am getting impatient to start work on the outside walls. We have managed to borrow some scaffolding pipes from our neighbour. We also found clamps and fittings when we moved in here. Hopefully we will be able to build some decent scaffolds. We plan to clean the weatherboards, fill holes and apply a base coat of paint. It will not be the final colour, but having done that, we will be in a position to reinstate the verandah at least partially.
The grass is growing, and we had to move the sheep. They are not very happy, but they need to earn their keep. We had started a veggie patch, but the lambs got in there and mad a clean sweep of all our seedlings. Now we will have to put up a proper fence before we can try veggies again.
