End of week 6 - stocktake

• Monday: tried to finish off sanding north wall (old section). Ended up by filling nail holes and cracks. This was a mistake. We're supposed to prime it all first, then fill the gaps and spot-prime over that.


• Tuesday: put primer onto whole of sanded area. Now needs filled!


• Wednesday: Took a look at the south wall. It is in better condition than the north side, showing that sunlight is more punishing than rain and wind on the painted wood. Worked the phones to get the best price on our new fridge and freezer. Distraction from progress on house. Went out and ordered F/F. Removed overhead cupboard to make way for fridge arriving.


• Thursday: Spent day at Uni - no renovation work done by me. Lynne sanded and painted over patch on wall in fridge recess, rearranged cupboard contents and worked on fly wire door preparation.


• Friday: Forecast 34C today. I'll start on the south (shady) side. Could come inside and work on freeing sash windows if it gets too hot.
