Get up a bit later tan planned so I start about half hour later than I've mentally scheduled.
Still I make good progress and have emptied the room, put down dust sheets and got together the immediate materials I need before lunchtime. This also includes a plastic sheet over the door to retrict the dust going into the rest of the house. Poor Blake can't figure it out so he just punches a hole in in and ruins its purpose! Oh well!
After lunch I get on with filling the cracks in the ceiling and walls - we built an extension about 20 years ago just before Dad died (in fact, he helped us with some of the decorations!) - and the house has flexed, opening up small cracks especially where the latest joints were created. They're not too bad but I can see them and want to sort them out since I have the opportunity. It adds time to the job but I have to do it otherwise I'd kick myself afterwards if it stands out.
By the end of the day, I'm about half a day behind my mental schedule but am optimistic enough to believe that I'll ge able to recover the time. We'll see.
I do another BBQ for dinner. Its great doing them as it gives me a chance to pop open a beer and write up this blog while cooking the dinner.
I'm now up to date!
