Almost all the furniture has been sanded back, stained and varnished or painted now, Saturday 21st May 2016.
We only have 3 wardrobes, my computer table and a cream coloured dresser to sand back now...
Just waiting now for me to buy a new sander...the other one burned out this morning!
We're going to redo the first robe and take it right back to bare wood and re-stain it, as the timbers come up really nicely that way.
So by the end of next week Eric will have completed all the furniture and we can begin to sort out rooms for a final time before painting right through the place and getting the floors in.
The guys are busy on day jobs at the moment so the 3 door shed has ground to a longer halt than intended, but it isn't worrying though...yet!
It rained for a week the day after we took the roof off the 3 door shed and it became cold again.
I had to put on the heater 2 nights ago, now 2 days later I'm inside at 3pm as it's too hot outside to work!

| Maria baked the biggest yummy choc cake I've ever seen! |
 |
| We had more friends over for roasted turkey legs on Friday evening...and champers, of course! Can't wait to have roasted turkey legs for the medieval feast when each person has an entire turkey leg themselves, to eat with their fingers. always wanted to do that...Real Asterix and Gettafix stuff! |

 |
| All looking happy here... |
 |
| Turkey, candles and champers always goes down well! |
So, that was another busy week. Here is Asterix and cohorts. You may remember them...
 |
| Always wanted to recreate a memory for my kids of these comic book characters |
Maria mowed all the lawns on Thursday and Klaas came and mowed the huge front and end nature strips I have here, which was a wonderful surprise indeed.
The rain made everything grow too fast again...It needs mowing Mon and Thursday at the moment, so the faster I get a live in caretaker/gardener, the better.
 |
| The cauldron and all... |
Am not off to Serbia just yet, waiting for the schedule from the dentist, so it will probably be in the next 2 weeks though, so all is good there.
Am off to tidy up the side yard from the guys tossing timbers everywhere from the 3 door shed roof rafters and then try and help Eric level out the poor old wine vat cum coffee table that Zoltan couldn't get straight!
So, bye for now,
Cheers,
Mary
