Rosie's rooms still not done

As expected we still have a fair bit to do in Rosie's bedroom and playroom however progress has been steady enough.

Amazing morning views

We'll start with a picture of the sunrise this morning which was just stunning.

For the men it was in and more plastering, getting another layer done on the ceiling while Halil was working on the final touchups for the beam in the playroom. With all this done Bekir started looking at the slight cracks that have appeared in the walls of the bedroom and playroom by where some of the plasterboard joints were. They started trying to use a small multitool to grind it out but that didn't work so had to go get a new grinding disc which made quick work of it. They then applied some more tape, and covered it over with patching plaster. Success. The final task of the day was to clean and tidy which they did really well. It'll take a few sessions to get it fully clean in there but it's much better now.

After school today was more time pushing on the swing and then a lot of fun with Dutch (who ended up going into a load of undergrowth and returned covered in burrs that had to be brushed out of his fur. I is finally starting to get chilly in the evening so I had to wrap a scarf around my head (as I cut my hair today).

So that's the day. We have an exciting weekend planned which you can read about when I'm back on Monday.
