This is just a very quick post to show you some of the progress which has been made at the Sow's Ear.
The weatherboards have been put up on both sides of the house. It's looking much nicer than the old asbestos fibro cladding we had, so it is a big improvement. Mr D has done a lovely, professional job.
Next week, the cladding for the back of the Sow's Ear, under the deck, will be installed. That will look absolutely terrific and will dress up that area nicely.
We were also rather pleased to have our old VJ door re-hung. It had been taken off by the previous owners so it's been laying about the place for nearly three years! Yikes. The plan is to paint it orange.

ReplyDeleteIt's all looking so spiffy that you'll have to consider soon when the Sow's Ear will need to be called the Silk Purse. The orange door will be wonderful - I currently have orange blazing away behind my retina! Love it. X
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great, nothing like new weatherboards to tart up the place :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the progress on your place - it gives me hope for mine! Plus your dedication encourages me to get off my bum and start painting, sanding or whatever else is on the to-do list. Love the idea of orange! xx
