Quietly Productive

With this week off work I’m focussing on The Shed. The outside is part way to being Black Bean instead of raw pine...

And all, or close to it, of my weaving kit and supplies and The Stash have migrated to their new home.

Almost There

There have been delays and they are still not completely finished but the window frames went in yesterday and the insulation is done. Everyone involved is rightly chuffed including my next door neighbour who’s niece knows my builder because it’s New Zealand and 2 degrees of separation is totally a thing.

Normal Service Resumes

This appeared yesterday and I’m pleased to report that at some point between lunch time and going home today the wind has been fixed. Only in Wellington!

Windows

This week preparation has begun for new windows in the living/dining room. The main excitement so far has been getting so see the underlying structure of the house which, to my great relief, is in perfect nick. As you can see I’m also going to get insulation.

This is what was under the gib in the original part of the house. 

And wiring for the heat pump that was on the outside is now on the inside. 

Thanks

I got a lovely thank you at work on Wednesday that included lovely flowers from my lovely boss.

More Newness

Things continue on the home front. Right at the very top of the ‘if I owned this place’ list was a screen security door at the front. It was installed this week and we are reaping the full benefit of it today. Lovely fresh air circulating right through the house.

Being Immersed

These photos won’t mean much but they are part of the learning at a full immersion Māori language weekend that’s just wrapping up. Lots of new words and old friends.
