Dec5- Dec9: 2 days of General fiddling
Away in Hamilton Mon-Wed for shonaghs pump refill.
Plasterers been while away (Mon+Tues) - finished half the rooms in house then buggered off leaving a god-awful mess in the kitchen where they mixed up the plaster.
Didnt return rest of week.
Jamie stripped interior window frames and polyurethane bathrom and porch floors.
Fixup/gloop holes/gaps in bathroom and toilet floors.
Paint weatherboards for MBR gap in wall.
Crawl under house and nail boosters onto joists for nailing panel over floor
gap betwen lounge and Dining room (nailgun!).
Remove flashing from back door exterior wall.
Cleanup paint stripping on some of the windows.
Weather seal (new) Toilet window edges.
Finish nailing and weather seal exterior ensuite wdw edges.
Clean old wall paper off bathroom roof and wet then easily scrape off remaining stuck glue and paper.
Clean bathroom door and surrounds.
Clean old wallpaper/seal off porch interior ceiling, again wet and scrape off stuck on glue+paper . Now theres just the end of the hall alongsidethe laundry and craft room to do the same to - unfortunately its got a 3.8m stud.
Some more wdw paint-stripping cleanup - coarse wire wool and methylated spirits gets rid of final bits of paint and sticky paint+stripper gloop and brings out wood color and grain nicely.
Heavy rain from about 3.00 p.m Friday - area where spouting empties turning into a lake (also from gully trap off front roof onto and through front deck) so dig a drainage channel for some of water to get away and clear a temporary drain channel off lowest point of drive where water was pooling.
Peter+Darryl
Replace window in toilet with large sash window. Now get lots of light let into back end of house.
Frame outside of ensuite window.
Attach weatherboards and glue edges of missing weatherboard gap in MBR outside wall. The profiled the weatherboards themselves from 10inch pine planks using a jigsaw and planer - looks just the same as original weatherboards...
Evidently still waiting on fricking permit for septic and sewage lines.
Still to do:
All by next Friday (:-)
