I have decided it is well time for the new kitchen to get attention. I commandeered Jaco to assist me, and we added battens to the old ceiling, The ones I fitted way back were not secure enough. the new ones are 40 *40 mm and screwed to the beams with 100 mm screws. I rented a gib lift and Barco assisted and the boards were fitted easily. I realised I cannot continue to do work on the cornices and half round battens (strips) before all the walls are done. That means I will need to cut the serving hatch and remove the door, as planned. It will also mean I cannot close the door on the job when I do not feel up to it.
Saturday was a very rainy day and I called on Jaco so we could work on his door and door frame he want to fit in his garage to change it to a play room for the kids. That is nearly done now.
