Still Strippin' and Buildin'

I moved back onto the verandah using the old red table as a stepladder. I cannot quite reach the top safely but I can at least get about another metre stripped. I intend to go back around the house on all sides of the verandah. The above photo is 2 afternoon's work, but my time will be limited again as of next week.

This one is of the doorway into the old pantry now office, and the corner outside bedroom 2.

Great excitement, the long overdue builders ( thanks to a bicycle accident) are hard at work building the new front steps. We also now have the house sitting on half a dozen adjustable poles while 3 stumps are being replaced. Roll on an upstairs bathroom, of course that will happen when WINTER is over. The replacement hot water system still has not arrived. Luckily we have worked out how to get the dodgy one working, just long enough to wash your hair before the fan causes the heater to stop. When the plumber comes for that job, we are hoping they also install another wood heater given to us by some kind person from Bundaberg who has decided they do not need a wood heater there. Things are looking up, then when the downstairs room gets a new ceiling in place, the quilting frame might just move in. By then I will have lots of sanding to do, then painting so maybe the quilts might just have to wait a wee bit more.
