Noel checked that all the windows would open this morning and I asked if he would paint the garage doors for us yesterday and he got on with that this morning. I didn’t take a before picture but they were in a state as you will see from the amount of preparation was required then he undercoated and painted. Looks a treat now,
When I nipped to the shops I took a picture of the mahonia which has grown quite large and has a mass of flowers appearing, it will soon be smelling heavenly.
I have done some washing and nipped out to have a quick chat with Sher but have also spent a bit of time on the jigsaw.
He finished up a lot faster than I thought he would, and a great job too. A lot of painters these days are very slapdash, but he’s an old fashioned and skilled painter. The garage door does make all the difference to the front of the house, so it was well worth having it done. You really are going to miss him being about, but as you say you’ll be able to have a lie in, assuming the legs let you!
ReplyDeleteI like the smell of the mahonia too.
The jigsaw is coming on slowly. Still a gap at the bottom though 😊
The pic Tina sent you is sort of Mary Whitehouse playing Steve McQueens part in his film Cool Hand Luke. It starts with him chopping the tops off parking meters 😊
I put the rooms back to rights today, and it will seem odd not having him around, but I know Pandora will be happy to be free of intruders!
ReplyDeleteThat mahonia seems to have he a growth spurt which is great.
Glad the last photo caught your interest. Not a film I have seen.
