Having worked a whole week, I wonder where my time went?

I have stripped all of the old sarking boards off the new kitchen. That created a lot of dust. Luckily I have borrowed a proper respirator, so it was not too bad.

With the timber removed, we could do a proper clean out. I used four vacuum cleaner bags. I still haven't installed all the wiring. Saturday was spent de-nailing all the boards, and putting them away.

Jaco turned up on Friday, so we worked all day on the frames for his sleep out.

Some time during the week, we also made some time to put up the last of the veranda posts. They go in pairs, and there is supposed to be scrolls between them. That is not done yet. (Oh, I forgot to say, it goes around the corner as well)


It looks much better now, but there is still a lot of work to be done. With the rainy season starting now, it is unlikely that I will be doing much more on the veranda. The deck is another story, that is on the long term list.
Now you can understand why I did the outer beam for the deck long ago. It all fits together now. Sometimes there is still some method in my madness

Well, If you will allow me, I will continue the work in the kitchen next week, with some new studs, insulation and plaster boarding.

Have a nice week!!
