Reno - Electricians - out the back of the house
Working out the back. Dan and Jordan.
Coach light installed at the back. Looks nice. Needs a good paint job around it now.
Apparently they need to spend another day here, as my inside work will take some time too. Apparently the lights are not earthed, and to do so, the boys will have to raise the roof sheets to send down wires to earth them. This is due to the age of the house. It will cost but it has to be done - so I've asked for it to be done next week.
See ya next time boys. At some future time, I will need wiring to power lights at the carport and shed, and to move the meter box to the front of the house.

Reno - Electricians - The lights and wiring continues
Dan on the roof, Zach out there in the hot sun drilling holes for the coach light wiring.
One of the coach lights.
Sensor light.
4 front coach lights up! Looks good. Needs that repaint (and new roofing) to make them pop.
New, higher hockey sticks, with bracing, for the power lines! The shed and carport can now be built!
Singapore white boug + Updates to end May 2019
Seems to like its pot and is finally flowering.
16 April 2018: continuing to do well so far. I love the white flower.
Update: 21 March, 2019 - I had moved it out of it's pot and into the ground near the front fence, and sadly, it got a bit damaged due to whip-snipping and so on. After drought, and then a deluge of rain, it seems to have started to get its feet. It's growing again, slowly.

I put this one in the ground during January 2019, and it has suffered a couple of lashings from the whipper-snipper. It seems to be hardy enough to be growing again though. I so hope it will, as it is so pretty.

Reno - Stage 2 - Step 1 - Electricians #1
Strybos Electricians putting in sensor lights, coach lights, moving the cables from the power pole, installing an outside point or two, affixing new light shades, and fixing power points inside the house.
Dan and Zach (the younger). Jordan joined at lunch time (around 1 pm).
Short poles holding the wires -

Longer 'hockey sticks' at last! Ready for shed and carport construction there-under.
Zach preparing the cabling for the coachlights.
They'll have to come back for some extra installing when the carport is up, for lights there and for the front extension, lights on the front of the house (towards the main road). I also want the ceiling fan put up (that Anne gave me), and the bathroom heater gadget, after the new roof is on. Phew!
