Looks Like Work To Be Done!

The first non footy week for the best part of 5 months has now come and gone.  Taking its place of course is a heap of cricket on TV.  Most of the matches are now available on free to air so the TV screen on the computer desktop is tuned right in.

The weekend was 'as usual' with me off to Computer Club first thing Saturday for the usual round of email problems, setting up a new android phones, some updates to people who are interested in Kodi and a general chat about anything at all.

More Android TV messing around for much of the rest of Saturday and for some of Sunday filled my days.  Interspersed was a look at the cricket on TV!

Here in Queensland the household fences around the house block are built with palings side by side rather than overlapped like we had in Melbourne.  As the fence ages, the palings shrink and you can see through to next door.  To get a little extra privacy we have double sided the back fence and we have put up reed grass panels to help fill the gaps along the side fence as you can see in the photo above.  As the reed gets older and begins to crumble, I usually just put a new layer over of panels over the top.  This gives us good coverage and privacy around the pool area.

After time and with weathering the reed panels begin to look pretty 'second hand' like it is looking right now.

This morning it was off to Bunnings (the local super hardware store) and grabbed some cement sheet panels and oodles of quality paint, similar in shade to the pavers. I bought 3 sheets 1.6 x .9 metres as the first 'stage' of recovering the side fence.  After I remove some of the old reed paneling, the 3 cement sheet panels will go up tomorrow and they will then get their first coat of paint.  I will still need two more sheets of cement sheeting to complete the first stage from the pool fence across to the pool filter cover.

You can buy decorative heavy duty patterned plastic panels nowadays.  We will buy two and they will go into place to complete the job.

I have heaps of paint so if we decide to go all the way from behind the pool pump across to the back fence we can if we want to.

I will put off a required visit to the chiropractor until after the panel work is completed.

I did manage to bottle wash on Sunday and I expect to be bottling either tomorrow (Tues) or Wednesday.

Lovely sunny days the last few days.  It was a round 22° in the pool this morning after my bike ride, still a little on the brisk side!
