Days of wind and sand

Setup and tie ladder to trestle for painting remainder of back gable, Chicken out when climb up and see how much the wind was gusting - takes both hands to hold the window open against the wind gusts.
Hold off for the wind to die down later in the day (it didnt).

Dad and Eb arrived so get Eb painting the toilet window before its installed and Dad fixing window catches in gable window while I paint (interior) scotia for Blair to put up above the gib board.

After that get Dad (and later me) onto fixing the broken sash cord and counterweight in the RHS Lounge sash window.
Open the sash weight panel and find the old weight, remove it.
Take the facing beading out of the window and pull out the window.
Attach some new sash rope and thread it through the pulley and onto the weight. You need about 6 hands for this to hold the window, the weight, get the sash cord threaded and nailed onto the window and the weight attached without either dropping the window or swinging the weight any of which will invariably break the window.

Send Eb around house replacing putty in windows.

Still really windy outside (blowing dust so cant see either) so get all three of us onto the garage - wire brush rust off walls inside and out and then paint with fisholene. Will prime with rust primer after that dries in a week or so.

Bit of a bitsa nothing day since the wind precluded much outside work
