After some prompting, the lady at Council told me that we were given a partial grant, but we have to wait until the letters has been written and signed. Fingers crossed.
We finished the deck, it is all good for sealing now. It took some planning to get the trapdoor right. We did have some rain in the week, so everything is wet, but we are thankful for the farmer's part. Having grown up in western Transvaal, I will never complain about rain.
The forecast is for a sunny Tuesday, so we hope to do the sealing then. We still want to do an extension on the larger deck at a lower level, but the plans are not clear in my head yet, so I might start with something else.
The trapdoor over the cellar works fine, but I still have to finish off handles to open it that I started yesterday. It involves welding, and with me being so shaky, it takes a lot of time.
Pictures to follow when the sealing is done!!
On Friday I did some necessary maintenance on our little car. I got some parts from a metal recycler and changed the RF seat covers, the RH sideshaft and the front wheels. The agreement is that I will only return the old parts, no cost involved. Thanks Michelle!!!!!!!!!
Gary, it all sounds fine, but I would like to see the finished product. I must say that I really admire your courage and Elna's love for you to keep on and live with every little change.
ReplyDeleteWhatb will be next after the deck/ The patio door, the new kitchen or the new bedroom/ Or will you wait till winter for the indoor work and the patio door in spring? Just asking!
