Monday morning.
(I love seeing these skies from our back door).
But that didn't stop our tradies descending on the place at 7am and working in the showers and mud!
Nine of them in fact.
Just over 6 mm of rain......
....so inside for morning tea and lunch.
Outdoor taps connected, a new air conditioner in the Garden Room, power connections to the sheds etc, concrete man to check the path positions and aprons to the garages and the gutter guard lady measuring for replacements.
Ewww.....this is an ugly corner.
It might be a bit of a challenge to pretty it up!
Sewing day
Showers and mud meant an indoor day for me on Monday too.
I bought a couple of very old linen sheets from the op shop ages ago for $3 each and decided to cut them up and make them into cushions for the Garden Room.
I love them...imperfections and threadbare patches and all.
I would love to know what the letters T N stand for.
Bill and I went out for the day today. It was a tradie free day for us at home.
Bought myself a plate from Freedom. $8.95.
( such a big spender!)
Christmas is at our place this year. It will be our first decoration.
Some garden bits that made me smile late this afternoon......
The first flowers of Geranium Rozanne.
Beautiful lilium just starting to open......
The herb Dill gone to seed......but oh so pretty.
7am start again tomorrow. Our tradies must sleep so well at night. They put in some very long days and most of them travel at least an hour to get here!!!
I'd be exhausted before I even began!
Exhausting just reading all of your posts Helen. Amazing though to have these up dates of your family and building progress.. Fantastic diary online of your progress and life. Tradies are amazing.Paving on the way is saying nearly finished. Just in time for Sam Kiann Flynn and family for Christmas
ReplyDeleteNo Sue, not nearly finished....still heaps to do. Lots of little jobs. Such a huge job getting all the right tradies at the right time. Glad we didn't have to organize it!
DeleteSeems like things are starting to fall into place! Having the essentials around and within the house, like the A/C at the Garden Room, is one of the little blessings we should take the time to be thankful for. Looking at the progress, you can tell there's still a lot of work to be done, but it's all about taking and making those small steps. Good day!
