This week I managed to fit the 10 posts that were extended last week. It is beginning to take shape, but there is a lot more to be done. There is about another 13 to do. Remember, most of the posts are doubled, 450 mm apart. I asked around and was told of a different epoxy glue, and man, that one works! I can manage two posts per day (with the eight clamps I have). I think, including Saturday's two, I have about seven done now. Still to be sanded and painted.

I called tie plumber on Friday, it is four weeks we have been waiting now, but it seems he is not very interested. I will give him another week, then start the pipework myself.

On Saturday we picked up a fridge/freezer we bought in Hamilton, so half the day was gone. We spent some time today to remove the old fridge and freezer and install the "new" combination unit. We still have a separate smaller freezer.

We are still planning to fit the "new" used hob in Cambridge this coming week. We will have to modify the counter top to accept the smaller hob.

We also had some rain on Saturday, and the weather has suddenly turned. Our forecast for tonight is 5 deg. I think winter has started. Thank goodness we are sleeping in the front room which is insulated.

I am very excited about the patio door frame I need to build for the dining room, but realise I have to be patient till Willie arrives here to advise me.
