Nov30-Dec4 Painting, stripping and glooping

Paint strip, clean, glue and gap fill Lounge door exterior removing
old green paint down to wood surface.(one full day)
Polyurethane (4 coats, one per day) Lounge door exterior.

Stripping: Spray on a layer of paint stripper, wait for it to work while scrape
risen paint off previous section, respray. Clean all paint off then finish with thin layer of paint stripper and wipe off with water. Use about a can and half of spray on stripper get it down to raw wood.
Door in good condition apart from some dark splotches that are a little softer than surrounding surface.
Try and scrape them off but no go.

Looks great after polyurethane coatings...
First coat bought out red color of wood but then it darkened some with more coats.

Clean and paint verandah support posts.
Give up waiting for roofers and remove old verandah iron roofing and clean and paint verandah frame and under-verandah house walls.
Gap fill and gloop gaps and holes in front of house and on kitchen front window overhang.
Clean wood sarking out from under front of house (inaccessable due to miscalculation with not removing before put in new deck), restack long beading and trim lengths and long plank and stud lengths so accessible from side of house and pile remainder of pieces under tarp in yard out of the way.

Peter+ Darryl:
Put edging on deck all the way around.
Make front door step off deck
Place Baseboards around road side of house
Bring back Interior Doors - replace jams in doorways, swung and trimmed.
Place Kauri fireplace surround and Rimu hall seperator grill in hallway
inset - looks really good.
Trying to decide where other fire surround should go:
In kitchen around pantry door? - not center on opening symmetrically.
Around gas cooker? - Too large and heavy looking above kitchen bench.
It has a holder for plates on the shelf so probably put in dining room against road side wall.
