Water tight at last...(11 - 17 May)

  • I bought wall tiles & gas hot water system for the ensuite
  • Mark dup holes to access the pipes for the plumber
  • Fri - The plumber arrived early (hooray) and has completed all the ensuite plumbing. He just needs to come back & connect the water to the new gas heater system

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

Image
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.

Wednesday 22nd Mark finished the ceiling joists in the ensuite and I rendered the vanity wall. Mark smoothed and leveled my rendered wall - looks great! I helped Mark attach the aircell insulation to the ensuite ceiling joists & roof rafters. Thursday 23rd I went to Design glass to fix up my leadlight window. Turned out that I didn't have the iron hot enough, so it was easily fixed and yes the soldering did cover up the most of my leading mistakes. I spent the afternoon cementing my leadlight. Mark spent the day cleaning out the garage so we will have somewhere to store the gyprock when it arrives tomorrow. Wow I haven't seen the garage this clean in ages! But no...
