I will not blame you if you are not interested in the Blog anymore. I do apologise

I have lined the insides of the outer walls with building paper. I have also fitted the frame for the special window, and repaired the weatherboard on the outside. Then we fitted insulation in the eastern wall, and added plasterboard.

I also spent time on covering the gap on the outside between the living room and the old kitchen. The timber there was thoroughly rotten. I could not source the sanding/ buffing pads I have used in the past to clear the paint from the weatherboards, and was forced to have it ordered specially for me. That arrived in the week, 5 of them. Yesterday I could start sanding the weatherboards.
The ceiling of that room is very degraded, and I feel it is not fit for a repair (and I am not fit to do a paint strip there). We have bought some timber to build the framing for a new ceiling, below the original one.

Some time was spent to help and advise Jaco who is putting up a veranda by his front door. Amazing how time flies!
