I am very pleased to say that Previous arrived back from Zimbabwe , and Came back to assist on Wednesday at Sage Street.

I will tell of his misadventures in another Post.

Finished welding the Roof Framework and then painted it!

This was started as two Projects together , below is the first part , Posting:-

Roof Framework up !

Trixie and Max not paying too much attention!

Getting Ready to cut Roof Skirting Board ( only Angle Grinder with Diamond Blade can do it!)

Half Way!

2 Roofing Sheets Left to Go Up!

Lunch Defrosting!

Video of Roof Skirting Cutting!

Done!

As Thursday was Raining here , we took some Cupboards I had left over from the Kitchen and put them in Wayne's 2 Bathrooms . I decided to go with Black Paint ( unusual for a Bathroom) and did the Cupboards and the Burglar Bars in Black. They needed 3 layers of Paint Ist layer Thursday.

First Bathroom Cupboard!

Second Layer done Friday Morning!

Then Back to Patio Roof, cut away skirting Board Starting at 10:00 Hours, by 14:00Hrs The whole Roof was on and we had finished eating Lunch!

Second Bathroom Cupboard!

After this Previous did the 3rd and Final Layer of Paint on the Cupboards.

Hope I have not Bored you too Much with tales of a Retiree?

Good work bro

anyaelisha (28) · 7 years ago

Hmmm...technical terms. I think I love the way your went. I don't think it was boring though. I like two things about your post.

The photo of the lunch. It's attractive...Lol.
I like it when people do unsual things. It makes me think people are being creative when they go off routine. I'm talking about where you said that you painted the bathroom black which is unusual. I think I love that.
So, nice post. Try and do very much better later. Kudos!

awgbibb (70) · 7 years ago

Food is also my Favourite , thing!. We have gone with a theme in the Main House doing all in White and Black ( works for Piano's as well) . So continued in the Bathroom.
Thank You for your comment.
