Reno #24 + Grandad

The lounge looked a little more like a lounge today ..  Wondered about red for a start, but looked a little loud.  Seemed to get the colour better by the time we got home..

Last week the wallpaper arrived for the Lounge, so the painter got that up and painted.  Pretty nice anaglypta styles they have these days... I liked it anyway :)

The lady from Auckland tells me all the wall lights have arrived, so if I put some money into her account she will courier them down... just have to work out who needs paying first this week!
Last week, the windows were taken out of the spare bedroom to have new reveals put on them, so awaiting architraves around them now to finish off and get the bedroom back into order.

After this one they took out our bedroom window, and that was very much 'open2view' on Monday, and still has a gap all around the window awaiting architraves too.  The outside is being clad slowly.  Graeme got taken off the job Thursday/Friday last week so I was allowed to be unwell!!

Trouble is nobody told the electrician or painter... so we still had tradespeople around.

Dad managed to get some roses planted..

This is where Dad and Blue like to spend some time.. and the Dining/Smoke photo I was trying to email you the other night bongs!

And this is our special g-nome we have installed in our back garden :) She is being very patient with our building project, noise and dust !

Grandads last supper at Wensley House (for some reason he needed help with the meat/vege, but had both hands in the desert), and his new room at Otumarama which opens out onto a courtyard.

First Sunday meeting back at Nayland Road - it was raining so we got the wheelchair taxi and Grandad recognised the taxi driver that used to bring Grandma around..!  (After he said about Sollys - Golden Bay freight trucking company- taking the people (cows) away after the meeting ..

That's us for now.  Hoping to get some shelving done in the hall cupboard and Marks bedroom so they can be used this week, and the heat/fan/light vented back through the roof so the shower can be used.
