Roof...(1st - 8th April)

Wednesday 1st - Friday 3rd Mark went to Esperence with his brother, Ken & his mother, Joyce for Aunty Rita's funeral (Thurs 2nd). The Downsborough clan farewelled Aunt Rita in style (& alcohol). It's a shame that funerals seem to be the main reason to get together at the moment...we need a few more weddings, birthdays & christenings! I sent my condolences & stayed home to try & finish my ECU work. I'm on the last unit - hooray! Saturday 4th Mark was jet lagged from traveling & was moving very slowly today. Not much progress to report! Sunday 5th Day Off. Monday 6th Dad & Tim's birthdays - Happy Birthday Guys!!! Mark ordered the ridge cap & put up more roof sheets. I handed him tools, clouts, tin etc thru the study nook so he didn't have to climb up & down the ladder. Knocked off early to go to dinner with the LuClay family to celebrate Tim's 15th birthday. Tuesday 7th More roof sheets went up - yeah we've finished ev...

Dad's 80th...(9th - 12th April)

Thursday 9th 5am wakeup for our flight to Sydney. Dan was at the airport to pick us up. Went to Camden for a late lunch then Dan dropped us at Jim & Michelle's. Had a quiet dinner, chatted & an early night. Friday 10th Slept in (wonderful). Dan & Fisher arrived and then Ben - all the family is here. We had a lazy day and then a big family dinner to celebrate Dad's 80th, Katie & Fisher's 14th, Marks 53rd & Dan's 47th birthdays. Lots of good reasons to celebrate! Saturday 11th Saturday is race day...and Dad is always pissed off with people having birthdays, wedding etc on HIS race day...so we went to the races with Dad. Unfortunately it was not a winning day but we had fun critiquing the ladies outfits & shoes (a very amusing pastime). Sunday 12th Another late morning...isn't that what holidays are for? A big BBQ breakfast and a lazy afternoon trying to beat the kids at pool (snooker or whatever). Then back to the airport for our flight home.

Slogging on...(18 - 24 May)

Now that the plumber has done his thing Mark got stuck into getting the ensuite ready for tiling. Glued the concrete floor sheets down - 2 layers, plus another layer under the floor over each join. It shouldn't move anywhere! Measured, cut and glued the wall sheets on Sat - Simon arrived at 8am and had completely tiled & grouted the walls and tiled the floor by 3pm. Amazing and it looks fantastic! He will be back on Monday to grout the floor...then we can install the fittings.
