Yes, I know, I am a day late. Sorry!!

We made good progress on the new kitchen. Added studs to correspond with the width of the plasterboard, and added the spacers required to get the thickness right. Then I went to get some more insulation (we had some left over from the last batch) and plasterboard. We managed to fit insulation to all the outside walls. Shaun, the grandson offered his help on Saturday, and we got the outside walls covered from the top (2.4 m). Next will be to do the bottom 1 m. I ran out of plasterboard and will need to get some more.

The inside wall towards the living room does not get covered yet, because we are planning a serving opening.

I also got hold of a backpack weed sprayer. I spent some time fixing it, mounted it on a trolley, and sprayed the weeds in part of the lawn.

This morning I got sidetracked. I resumed work on the storeroom I started some months ago. I had all the shelves already in, but no walls on two sides. I got some rain in my storage containers. It was such a lovely day, I just had to do outside work. I can report that the storeroom is finished now.

I also had to mow the grass. It is still growing, but I hope this will be the last cut before winter. Thank goodness for the ride on. In the meantime Elna is filling holes in the ground from the heap of dirt (earth) that is lying here.
