Renos - Day 38

Thought I'd get in on the action today! With Andy overseas, it proved to be too difficult to paint windows over the weekend solo with both girls. I did manage to mostly prep Ella's window by removing the finger prints and giving it a sand ready for some painting today.

After school drop off, I headed for a coffee waiting for the day to warm up to the minimum requirement of 10°C as stated on the paint tin. I was greeted to the view of the final layout of the living area with the removal of the kitchen wall! Wow - I'm impressed!

A little more sanding and planing (thanks Tom) to remove the sealant paint Andy had overeagerly applied a few weeks ago before I could begin my work. Managed to complete both sides of Ella's two windows plus the kitchen window (which is yet to be installed) in the few hours the girls were at school.

Meanwhile there were a myriad of people on site again. Paul, Tom and Matt were there tinkering away in the roof, plus 3 plasterers who were busy ferrying gyprock inside and began work on the ceilings in the girls rooms installing insulation as they went.

The heating guy had been and gone by the time I arrived but Paul was pretty excited with his extra skills of discovering 2 possums hiding inside a heating duct. Quick thinking saw both ends of the duct taped up with the possums inside! A little road trip to the local nature reserve saw these two fur balls returned to their natural environment! Hopefully they found somewhere nice to reside.
