It's all hands on deck every spare minute of the day until that time. Floor coverings are booked to be laid a few days prior to moving day so the last of the painting is being done... and yes Dr Paul, your suggestion to use a roller with head specifically for oil based enamel paint was a brilliant one. You could have mentioned it earlier tho as I've only got 5 doors to go (after today).
Today I painted 3 doors in record time, with ease and much less paint and pain! May I also say to anyone interested... that painting enamel in the middle of winter, especially when the temp was 6 degrees celcius when I arrived this morning, is not recommended. The paint gets quite thick and gluggy, but oh that roller made is so much better. I even bought a pack of 10 replacements to save me from having to clean them... ha ha
and BTW, having a door makes going to the lav so much more clandestine!
With Rick arriving, MOTH needed to finish digging the utilities trench (taking services from the shed to house) and hooking up some final connections, as it will be covered up this week.
Fuzzy also showed me the collector tank under the house. This is where all stormwater will first be gathered, then initially, re-directed to the overflow. Once our water tanks are in place, the contents will be pumped across to the storage tanks for general use at the property. Refer to post dated 17/03/13 for more info.
The tank is tucked up neat and tidy under the lower balcony.
