The beginning of the week was rainy and the roofers could not work. That gave me the opportunity to finish the work on the gable ends. All of the old veranda roofing was removed. Then I replaced some rotten weatherboards. The barge boards and the gable ends all got painted. I also bought some timber to replace the beam against the wall, cut it to the right angle and painted it.
Previously I have bought timber to cut to profile for the corners of the veranda. I have taken a template off the only surviving beam when I did that corner, and marked it off on the new beam. Then I realized that I was not up to cutting it, so I left is to the roofers. They picked it up, took it to their workshop and cut it and then I could paint it.
They turned up in earnest on Thursday and leveled the beam on the perimeter and set all the posts vertical.
Friday they had other work to do and we expect them back on Monday to start in earnest.
I used the gap to start painting the patio doors, but that is a mammoth task ahead of me.
Saturday I mowed the lawns and removed some weeds, and then I just got lazy.
