Cladding Finished

The cladding work was finished yesterday (4 May) by four hard working men. Ron the foreman, Ken (ex roofer), and Josh were the regulars, and there was also a young guy to help with the final effort.

Rooster Home Again

Finishing Up

Today I am expecting two of the men who will return to break down the scaffolding and carry it away as well as the many of their tools still on site.  I am also expecting Mick Galvin the plumber who will install a water tap on the side of the house.

I'm trying to arrange a visit from Clint so that I can sign off on the work then visit the bank for a cheque for payment to him.  I'm always very scrupulous about making prompt payment.



I've included a photo of the weather vane, which is back up and running after close to a year.  I brought the rooster down, removed the rust from the stem, gave it several coats of paint, then found that I could no longer climb up the slippery roof.  Young Paul was able to make the climb last week while he was helping me with the French doors.
