The men return

 So obviously we didn't have workmen on Monday; I had a call at 8.20am from Bekir saying they would be back today, on Wednesday. I had slept very VERY badly the night before (I actually got up at midnight and worked until 5.30am as I got fed up trying to sleep) so it wasn't the worst thing to not have the men around.

The men return, Sally working in the top corridor

Sally gets stuck in to priming

Sally plasters

Bekir reinforcing the porch roof

Sealing and closing the gap

Repairing tiles

Today, however, Bekir and Sally (only) were back; Halil was off to his college and the wood guy hadn't come back but maybe tomorrow I hope. We had some tasks lined up for Bekir not in the top corridor while Sally got stuck in doing the priming of the walls (until he ran out of primer) and then he started plastering what bits he could. Bekir was fixing the top of the toilet shed to the wall with silicon and then skimming it again, and also working on the roof of the porch to do the same thing, before he went onto the balcony to fix the broken tiles and generally seal it for winter.

Distant rainbow

The day was a really busy one for me but they cracked on throughout and hopefully tomorrow will see the priming finished and more plastering done, the balcony completed and some blinds put up in Angela's Art Room and the Games Room. We shall see. We did get hold of the window people finally and they should be out next week to do the urgent jobs we have for them, and before the end of the year the glazing should all be done. Today has been a generally sunny day but I'll leave you with a picture of a rainbow in the distance.

Thanks for reading; I'll be back again tomorrow.
