Painting, painting, painting, painting and more painting.
Well, I’ve taken 2 weeks off work. The first week I’ve spent painting. Heck there’s a lot to do. Every day of the week I got there at 0630 and finished at 1800 — sunrise to sunset. Some nights I worked till 2100 and 2200. I got the whole house undercoated, and the top coat, (two), on the Kitchen, Lounge, and Hallway areas. My neck, and arms were killing after doing the ceilings.
The second week, I started on the flooring. So far I’ve managed to complete the Kitchen and part of the hallway, (the kitchen arrived today — just in time). The flooring we chose was pre-finished Cypress Pine planks. These are just normal milled planks, but have been lacquered. So, no sanding or polishing needs to be done afterwards. This is ideal for us, as we are doing the flooring in stages.
I’ve been absolutely buggered these last 2 weeks. Working at least 12 hours a day for the last 13 days straight is wearing me out. Hence the lack of an update. I’ve lost a huge amount of weight doing it as well — I’m down to 75kg from 85kg.
One thing that we haven’t had a lot of is rain. For 2–3 days it rained a huge amount during the last 2 weeks. It really tested out the drains, but heck there was a LOT of mud everywhere. You can see me
clearing out the drains as they were getting a bit full of water.
Another thing I did was to re-position my livecam to inside the house. Over the next week, I’ll cull out the highlights.
