SUNDAY SUMMARY

 


Happy St. Patrick's day to you all. 

Well the kitchen is still being worked on, although all the units are in and we are using it. Just the finishing touches happening now and hopefully it will all be complete, with nothing left to do ! ( A First if it happens ) by next weekend!

Paul's put in the panelling that we needed around the few pieces of full length wall that could be seen.


He made the panelling from scratch, not a kit, it's cheaper this way even if it's more time consuming.




The man himself at work. Then because we had a couple of days of rain, he managed to sneak in moving out of the kitchen and into the breakfast/dayroom, to start panelling the wall in there! I gave in to the move because the boarding was all out in the carport and I didn't want the boards to bow in the damp air which can happen.


So this happened. Then all the talk was about this wall !

Then its well how do we want the wall to look!



do we want this set up of  panels?


or do we want four panels?


Do we want a dado height panel with a dado to show break?? Decisions decisions!!


Finally settled back where we started on three panels, What can I say I like to see all the options before I commit!!! 


So this then meant as it rained two days that Paul also added the side to start the cupboard to hide the boiler!

But then I had to stop him or the kitchen would never get finished! Even when he undercoated the kitchen wall panels , I had to stop him going round to undercoat the big wall, since he had the tin open!



So finally the panelling in the kitchen's had it's first coat of Emerald green! 


Looks darker in different lights, so glad I when for this more green of greens but will probably tone it down for the big wall.


I do have to say that the panelling in the dayroom is already looking good and that's before it's even finished.

After I finish this post, we are off to the garden centre for some plants for the flower garden, which means Paul will be out there between the paint coats drying! 

He's already repotted the lemon tree and put it out in the new pot, almost a month before he'd normally take it out from undercover against the frosts!



Today's headliner is Liberty, since she's the only girl in green and she is looking lovely out amongst the spring flowers.

On the doll front, I sold another non Sasha doll and a small teddy arrived. Apart from that not much happened on the doll front, although I did have an idea for a summer long story which I hope for once to make happen, weather and time and energy permitting!

So since Paul's waiting to go buy plants, I will end now and wish you all a happy healthy week ahead
