All Finished

It is another glorious day here, mid 20's with a coolish breeze.  The wind is again from the west today so there are no clouds, just sunshine but it is a little breezy.

Bruce the builder arrived around 7:30 am with corrugated iron sheets in hand to complete the final touches for the new shelter in the backyard.  He was on his way to the next job by mid morning and we had chairs and pot plants back in place soon after. 

Some rearrangement of wall hangings on the back fence was required and completed quickly.  His metal ladder had chipped some paint from the recently painted concrete in the back corner. 

Brian (our painter neighbour) had given me a few tips so I dipped a small piece of rag into some paint and dabbed it onto the damaged spots.  All was fine again in a matter of minutes.

You could sit under the sun shelter now at 11 am and still be getting plenty of winter sunshine with the sun low in the sky to the north able to get under the roof line.

It will be perfect for us.  We now need a blind on the western end of it to keep the hot afternoon sun at bay in summer.  That should only be a few weeks away.

I still need to do some touching up of paint but that may be a pack or two of Panadol Osteo away!
