\"scaffolding<\/a>…has now gone from the front of the house Well, in the sense of it being erected, that is.<\/p>\n

That’s good news in the sense that I can now put the roof back on the verandah and close the verandah door. It all helps keep me warm and dry<\/p>\n

And warm it was, too. 37 degrees outside, the warmest of the year so far, even though it didn’t feel quite as hot as yesterday.<\/p>\n

I’ve painted as much of the outside of the house as I can do right now. The rest will have to wait until I’ve tidied up whatever is lying about in the way. So don’t hold your breath. Regular readers of my mighty organ will know that tidying up is not my forte<\/em>. In fact, it isn’t even my 39. But at least I can reach everything from ground level except for the little bit over the kitchen where I’ll have to invent something to help me reach.<\/p>\n

And thinking on, I have to record that painting the outside is the first (I think) thing that I have done to the house for aesthetic rather than practical purposes.<\/p>\n

In other news, I had a good tea tonight. Lentils and onions and spices, with garlic, beans and potatoes out of my garden. And nice they all were too, especially the garlic! Nice and strong, no wonder I’m not troubled by vampires.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’m starting the pointing of the side of the house (the side you can’t see in the photo). That should be interesting as I’ve never done pointing before. But all the mortar there has dried out and is disintegrating and this is likely to be the only shot I’ll get at fixing it. <\/p>\n

I’ve set myself until Monday to do it and then I can discuss with Terry Monday night about doing the lean-to roof over the kitchen and fitting the wind turbine.<\/p>\n
