The doors!!. I started sanding the doors, and it has come out very nice. Keep in mind they are nearly 100 years old. There are several screw holes that has been filled with putty. The other story is that each door has 8 panes of glass. The putty is cracked and not waterproof nay more. I started removing the putty with my "renovator" tool, it vibrates rather than cut. It worked fine on other glass, but in our case, the glass is very brittle from age, and also only 2 mm thick. Most of it broke. So far I have done only one door, and it is not finished yet.We are playing with the idea to paint the outsides, but leave the insides natural.
Our car gave problems, and we spent more than a day fixing it. Then Elna complained of dizzyness, and we have been to the doctor's twice, to monitor her blood pressure, a computerised cuff that takes readings over 24 hours. Thankfully, all is well.
On Saturday we did the "garden route". When Willie was here, we bought some Pittosorum plants for hedging in two trays.When we started transplanting it into individual pots, we found we had nearly 100 plants.We transplanted only one tray. They will need to get a little bigger before they can be planted. We have also bought Camellia plants and that got planted as well. The last task was to plant Snow bells and Daffodils which were transferred in pots from Cambridge with the move. It is very late in the season, but we went ahead anyway. They were planted in the lawn, and will be mowed when the grass starts growing again. I read of an estate in the UK where they plant 2000 additional daffodils per year in their paddocks.
