Let there be plumbers and paint
Plumbers at house when arrived, then Dad turned up, then Jamie. Helped remove the the old spouting catches from remaining bargeboards (and what a bastard job that is - plastic spouting may be easy to put up but its a right struggle to get it down).
Sent Dad around to paint all the bargeboards ahead of the plumbers putting the spouting back up while I help Bob replace some missing bargeboards and repaint the ones above the wall we did yesterday that now have big unpainted patches on it.
Jamie continuing to paint the other end of that wall.
Bob and Phil putting in piles in front of the house for the deck.
Dad got really motivated and volunteered to paint the Lounge Gable after the bargeboards were done. He did one in a happy few hours dangling on one end of the longest ladder we have - crazy old man, his disregard of heights somehow must have skipped a generation...
Anyway spouting up, Lounge gable and all bargeboards and most soffits painted, kitchen side wall nearly completed - Jamie can finish it off tomorrow.
Shonaghs Brother Jeremy arrive about 5.30 for a look see - Hes down in N.P. for an offshore oil rig course to round out his commercial diving ticket. The main feature of that is a set of simulated helicopter crash-and-ditch-at-sea which hes doing tomorrow.
Out to dinner afterwards with him - nice little bistro in Fitzroy 'Eden'.
