Arise O Wall, Arise

Today has been a hive of activity around the site. Getting into the work now the rain has cleared. Deputy was working from home due to Brendan having to sit his license test (he passed, much to his and everyone else's relief!).

First up, Sam and Stephen, the painters. Sam giving Deputy a rundown of activity and issues, then telling him he had a job. White and two and a half and white and two! Over the course of the day, the boys have reached the stage of nearly having the upstairs finished (and polishing off at least 3 coffees, which is apparently a slow day!). A little bit of work tomorrow and upstairs will be done and dusted, from a painting perspective. Joel's room still has another coat on the feature wall and on the other walls plus the trim.

Joel likes the colour. Marissa's room is all finished, though now she is not so sure about the colour. It is nice, not sure why she has changed her mind though Deputy did say he liked her green colour from before.

Brendan has gone for a vivid colour, of white!

While all this was going on, Wayne and Peter (who was hoping for a half day) were busy building the retaining wall out the back. Two older gentleman working hard. Wayne stood up and he was as red as a beetroot! Deputy was concerned and quickly found water. They worked very hard, the bottom rows the hardest, they are hoping for an easier day tomorrow. They are working very hard to get back on track as they are behind in the concrete pour which is holding everything else up.

Phil was spending his time going through the house and patching and fixing all the little dings and holes through the house. A bit of tidy up sanding tomorrow.

Just when we thought it was all over, there is a knock on the back door and there is Simon, the kitchen man (notice they all have titles ....). He has the missing doors and a replacement door. After a quick call to Wayne, he also worked out a fill solution to the gaps around the vanity upstairs. Can you also spot the other thing that was changed in the kitchen? A prize to whoever gets it right!

Well it should all be on again tomorrow. Wayne is back, assume Peter as well and Sam and Stephen as well. Expect it to be fun all round!
