We have had our old ewe killed on Monday. Thursday we processed it. The wood band saw does not really work on meat, the blade keeps dropping off. The meat is a bit tough, but we are tough people. We also got given a Snoek, or Barracuda in Kiwi speak. Kiwis only use it as bait fish. The Snoek pie went down very well, and was enjoyed by many friends.

We had one day with a little rain, and I decided to start work on the new dividing wall between the new to be kitchen and the new to be bathroom. It involved only moving the computer and wardrobes. Material will have to be bought.  

I also spent time on the half built partition wall. I started planning the carport ans store room to go behind it. Then I realised the target was only to get the wall finished. That reduced the amount of work by about 70%.
The frames are secured now, and the iron sheets are getting there. I expect a few teething problems, but nothing that we cannot handle.

I know, it looks terrible! Keep in mind it will be secured properly and water blasted and painted. hopefully I can add a new photo next week, or the week after. There is a door lying in front of the tip up door. The other door also has a story to tell. I took a lot of pain to make the frames true vertical. Then I fitted the door, it didn't fit. Why? The top of the door is 1000 mm wide and the bottom is 1050. Now the whole door will have to be taken apart and rebuilt. All the material used so far are from the demolition of the shed in Hamilton.
