A COUPLE DAYS OF RENOVATING

IT'S BEEN A BUSY WEEK, THE BANANA BENDERS HAVE BEEN DOWN ALL WEEK AND TRYING TO GET AS MUCH DONE IN THEIR HOUSE DOWN HERE SO THEY CAN RENT IT OUT, I LIKE THESE WINDOWS BUT THEY ARE FALLING APART SO THEY ARE REPLACING THEM, THESE ARE GOING TO A NEW HOME DOWN ON A FARM. A FRIEND OF OURS WILL REPAIR THEM AND REUSE THEM, THEY ARE LOVELY WITH MORNING SUN SHINING, THIS IS AFTERNOON SO THE SUN IS IN THE WRONG PLACE TO SHOW THEM IN THE BEST LIGHT.

THE FIREPLACES ARE PRETTY GOOD TOO, THIS PHOTO NOT SO GOOD.   

THIS IS MY LIGHT NOW, NOTICE ALL THE WALLS AND CEILINGS ARE WOOD STRIPS AND WERE LETTING IN THE COLD SO THEY HAVE REPLACED ALL THE WALLS WITH PLASTERBOARD.

IT'S A DOUBLE FIREPLACE THIS IS THE OTHER SIDE.

THE BACK YARD HAD NOT BEEN MOWED FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND WE HAD SO MUCH RAIN EVERYTHING HAS GONE WILD, MAINLY THE GRASS.

WE KNOW NO ONE IN THE AREA BUT IT TOOK THE BEER FAIR ABOUT 10 MTS TO FIND A BLOKE TO GOSSIP WITH, MEN THEY ARE CHATTY THINGS. 

HE HAS A YUCCA SO I WILL KEEP A EYE ON IT TO SEE IF IT FLOWERS.

I LIKE HIS ENTRANCE, MY SON BUILT THIS COVERED GATE BUT ITS NOT A VERY GOOD PICTURE.

THERE WAS 21 SHEETS OF THIS STUFF AND IT WAS HEAVY, I WAS FEELING MY AGE BY THE TIME WE WERE FINISHED CARRYING.IT INT THE HOUSE. 

MOST OF THE WALLS WERE UP IN A DAY AND THEY STARTED ON THE CEILING THIS IS A PLASTER BOARD LIFTER AND IT MAKE THE JOB MUCH EASIER.

YOU LOAD IT UP .

AND TURN THE WHEEL AND UP IT GOES.

IT WAS VERY DUSTY SO I ENDED UP OUT IN THE GARDEN PULLING OUT WEEDS AND A GENERAL TIDY UP.

THE BEER FAIRY CAME OUT TO TAKE  A FEW SHOTS OF ME WORKING, SAYS IT RARE, HE 'S A BIT OF A SMART ARSE.
