EMPTY IT

ANOTHER MONDAY ROLLS AROUND, and it's the last one for June.

This month has flown by, can't think why.  😂

Lacy is coming around this morning to give me a hand emptying the shed.

We will be putting everything in the garage until we get the new Keter sheds.  Which I ordered yesterday.

I have ordered two, exactly the same as our first one.  They will 'do' for storing most of our outdoor stuff.  It just means Stew can't actually get inside a shed to do odd jobs.  He'll have to do that in the garage.

It has been a huge learning curve working out how to fit everything into this much smaller home.  I am still struggling to get my head around it to be honest.  It's difficult imagining it ever working, but in time I'm sure it will. 

I keep reminding myself of the big list of POSITIVES, as opposed to the small list of NEGATIVES.  

Moving on, I will get up shortly and await the arrival of the Bathroom Renovation guys, Lacy and Keera.

If I can, I will patch the wall behind our bed, and get that wall painted tomorrow.  It will be a start on all the painting I want to get done around here.

First priority will be the bathroom, then ONE wall at a time in the rest of the house.

Catch ya later.

ABOVE:  The spare bedroom ... I wonder if any of that bathroom stuff will end up in the bathroom today?  The answer to that is NO. The guys have been, put up the rest of the gib board, and now the gib stopper man is here doing the gib stopping.   

ABOVE: The shower tray got glued down today.

ABOVE:  What a difference!  After the gib board is ready, I will be painting that room.  That is likely to be late Wednesday, or even Thursday.

I'll ask the gib stopper man when exactly.

ABOVE: Lacy, Keera and I emptied the shed.  That's completely clogged up this side and end of the garage.

ABOVE:  BUT, we managed to keep this side free, so I can (maybe) do some sewing in a few days time.

Lacy and Keera have now left, so have the builders.  It's just me and the gib stopper now.

I am going to look at working on the few places around here that need plastering up, holes made by removing light fittings etc.

I saw this little video on Facebook, where someone was making a mince roll.  So that's what I have been doing the last hour or so.  It's basically mince flattened out, with cooked onions, eggs, cheese, tomatoes, seasonings and so on layered on top, then rolled up in tin foil and baked.  I hope it comes out ok.

As of now, we no longer own the wood shed.  We have ordered two new Keter sheds, they should be here in the next few days. 

The gib stopper has finished for today, he will be back tomorrow afternoon to put a second coat on.

Then we wait for it to be dry before I can do the painting.  Might be the end of the week even. 

Well I didn't do any plastering.  I was feeling a bit off after lunch, might be the constant smell of glue and gib stopping stuff?  The gib stopper has left a heater on in the bathroom to help dry the gib... so the house reeks of glue and stuff.

Plus I'm still tired, every day I just feel tired.  

7.45 pm, and we are just in from having a really lovely swim and soak in the pool/hot tub.  Lacy and Keera joined us as well.  Then we came home to try that mince roll.

It was bloody YUK!  TASTELESS.  Will never do that again.  Coco really loved eating my dinner for me.  Don't worry, I took out the tomato and onions for her.

Now, the girls have gone home, and we are going to blob out in front of the telly till bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
