In typical Tyburn fashion the house was alive with work, but I was involved in none. Despite that I would not characterise my weekend as 'a weekend off'.
The Master continued the assault on the wood work, cutting and installing many door frames, window frames, skirting boards and the shelving in the front bedroom's cupboard and walk in robe.
Meanwhile, our electrician was busy all weekend putting in the power points, light switches and lights. Yep, finally we can see what the house will look like at night (although we havent yet), and we can see in the bathroom. Still quite blue.
The supplier was unable to supply the necessary architraves and skirting boards for the passageway, the passageway having a more detailed design that the bedrooms. So it remains somewhat naked and exposed. Next weekend it should be properly clothed.
As for The Shadow and I, we spent several hours on Saturday back on the shopping trail, this time looking at cupboard handles. We found a suitable design in Richmond.
On Sunday we took the nephews Dewey and Louie to Mt Dandenong and looked down upon Melbourne and laughed maniacally from the great heights like four gods looking upon the earth and laughing maniacally. Dewey spent a good about of time bringing The Shadow up to speed on the ins and outs of Naruto.
Thirty minutes of soccer and gridiron practice upon our return and I was probably less rested than the previous few weekends working at the house.
Up next: the woodwork and the painting continue, and the scraping the plaster and other crud off the floor so proper flooring can be laid begins.
Cupboard shelving in the front bedroom:
Cable madness, now with power points:
Window frames:
Door frame and naked light switch (don't stare!):
Again with the jokes, our wonderful rose with naked globe (STOP STARING!).
The actual light fixture is sitting at home waiting patiently to be installed
so it can look like a boss:
