Not much to report this week. We worked on the outside where the verandah roof is supposed to be. Used some paint given to us, actually mixed two cans and now have 15l of green paint. After the gable was painted, Elna decided she actually likes the colour. Will see. I Also started sanding the verandah posts down, with the belt sander. The Rimu timber is in a remarkably good condition. The bottom ends are somewhat rotten, but i will splice it together with a short replacement piece. Thursday was rainy, and I started working on the electrics inside. Remember the old rubber insulated wires? They have been replaced now, and cabling for TV into the other bedroom done. Now the grandkids can watch their cartoon TV while the other people have a quiet chat. We also did a external light by the back door, and a hand bell we bought when we got the house.
