Movin Right Along (doog-a-doog doog-a-doog).... Footloose and Fancy Free....

Bonus points for those who can pick the song... for some reason it seemed fitting for this post! Well we are moving along - little jobs are getting done and are all part of the big picture! Over the last couple of weekends Bikeman and I finished the eaves (and we worked together nicely, I might add...) and they look very professional, if I do say so myself! We also did the following: Bikeman constructed this little gem for above the laundry door. Don't be scared now, that's not the colour or even the finish for that matter that it will end up - it will have cement sheeting (which will then be painted) over the top, to stop any moisture getting in above the door. Clever, huh?? Here you can see our lovely, straight, eaves. Noice! Erected with a minimum of fuss following Bikeman's expert nogginy things to attach them to. He worked out that using the bundle of joy again (aka nail gun) made the job easier, so that always keeps him happy! Voids in showers - kids bathroom and ensuite. Unfortunately we remembered just after they'd plastered the rooms but Plaster Bossman was happy for us to rip into the plaster and create them. Another 'Bikeman creation' - do you know how hard it is to place a box into a hole without dropping it down into the cavity?? Not to mention it has to be square... got there eventually with some careful engineering!
So next on the agenda: kitchen site measure, brick cleaning, garage roller door installation, painting!! We'll be painting the weekend of 12/13 September so if you are prepared to don your painting pants and come along and have a bit of fun we'd love to see you and would appreciate any help you might be able to give.
