...the well known firm of Painters and Decorators, have just turned up in the village.
Somehow our carefully planned to-do list for the work on Cornerstones fell by the wayside. Life [and sadly death] got in the way. But hard work is a good coping mechanism, when things go awry. Friday was fine, so we decided to put the weatherproofing treatment on the Lathe Palace. Bob has a spray applicator but we couldn't use it without thinning down the product. So we donned our overalls and set to work with brushes...
I'm sure the sunshine and fresh air did me good - I am feeling utterly drained after my time in Essex.
I didn't realise Bob's lathe palace was so Big!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend
It's half workshop, half garage [the car part is open, so is technically called a "carriage-house"] But although it is big, its location means it did not need planning permission, which is useful.
ReplyDeleteNothing like fresh air and getting something useful done for lifting your spirits. It's an attractive building and I'm sure Bob will create wonderful woodwork in there!
ReplyDeleteWe feel very blessed to have a home where we have space (and time)to create lovely things.
DeleteIt's big!!!! Well done to you! Sunshine is always good for you!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself lovely.x
In the days after my father's funeral, my mother and I wallpapered her dining room. She told me had she not been so tired from that job, she'd never have gotten to sleep those first few nights so it was all good.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you and Bob have planned Cornerstones to let you both enjoy your interests, tools, and talents!
Hugs!
Mindless distractions are helpful - and often achieve something useful!
DeleteUm, you don't suppose Splashit and Run would want to come across the pond to southern California, do you? I've a house badly in need of a coat of paint, both outside and in! There's something very therapeutic in painting walls, etc., isn't there? I painted several rooms in my house after my mother died. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about an exchange visit with you and your daughter [aka Growit&Reap]
DeleteOoh, wouldn't that be fun? :) I like Growit&Reap! :D
