Micks Distractions

Well, I haven’t updated in a while, (around 1 month). But then again not much has changed. This is always the way. Once you move in every­thing grinds to a halt. Besides; I needed to spend some time with my fam­ily.
Floors: We’ve received the sec­ond load of floor­ing. This floor­ing hasn’t been milled as acu­rately as the old stuff so I’ve had to buy a proper floor­ing gun. This pushes the board in at the same time fir­ing a nail in. The gun is the same as a nor­mal nail gun, but the fir­ing mech­a­nism is a bolt at the top that gets hit with a ham­mer. This then fires a nail at 40 degrees into the tongue.
Bath­room: We’ve been using two par­tially com­plete bath­rooms. I have yet to com­plete the tiling around the bath area, and get the plumber back to con­nect the shower up prop­erly, (I’m using a span­ner as a tap at the moment).
Archi­traves: They’re not up, but I have to fin­ish the floor­ing first. These will go in eas­ily with my old paslode. I’m putting in remove­able mitre-less skirt­ing boards. These will allow me to remove them for ter­mite inspec­tions.
Dingo: I’ll be get­ting the dingo back toland­scape the ground. I need to get rid of the rub­ble out the front and shift a whole swag of dirt around.
Veran­dah: I’ll need to fin­ish off the above first. Then I’ll get the con­cre­tor back to lay the con­crete for the front veran­dah. Then I can put up the veran­dah.
After all this it’ll be fin­ished. Hooray!
