Weekend 30 Sept - 1 Oct 2023

Washed the front of the house, and the verandah using the pressure hose (on loan from Bernie). Big job, and messy but fine to do on a hot 30 degree day!

I couldn't finish it all, as it was just such a big job and so tiring and I am lately feeling my age quite a big. Can only do one job per day and then need a snooze at 2pm or so. That's why I left everything in a mess. I'll finish it all next weekend. It's certainly worth doing, as whilst not prefect, the house looks so much cleaner, as does the verandah even though it's a new paint job done. It's a short working week, as we go back to school for Term 4, and today (Monday 2 Oct) is a new King's Birthday holiday (for Charles). I am taking it easy today in readiness for the enslaught.

Rose

The front rose arch

The white banksia rose is flourishing again. It gets better every day. It's so pretty. Here it is at sunset, taken from inside.

Today the back patio lattice was completed!

Everything looks so much more cohesive and tidy now. Thanks to Terry for his work and OCD eye!

I will need to paint the pergola, beautify the interior with plants and pretty lights, and the new Spring/Summer growth will come in and soften the edges. I have to somehow get rid of the junk underneath and re-arrange the shed interior to accommodate some of it.

I painted the back lattice.

Cheryl next-door put lattice panels atop the back fence between her place and mine, to prevent her large dogs from jumping over into y yard. I was pleased as I think it looks better and willstop all sorts of intruders. I have today started to paint it Dulux Domino. I think it looks great and makes the greenery and flowers pop.

Started painting the new lattice

New lattice section to create privacy around the carport. Terry TQP did it, and will come back to complete the back lattice in September. I have decided to paint the 'white' bits of the house all in ColourBond Surf Mist and the trims in Dulux Domino. I like how the surfmist matches the shed colour.

New loo installed!

I went through and washed the walls, filled in holes in wall and have painted over any marks. Now the loo is installed it looks goos. Cost $858. Terrible price. However, it is there orevernow. It's actually a bit too tall for me, so thinking about what to do to deal with that. Church kneeler to put my feet on?
