We made it to another Friday and it's been another busy day for me and the men.

| Bekir tying off the rope that will support him |
 |
| Safe as houses, that |
 |
| Halil maneuvers a sheet of plasterboard |
 |
| Getting the back bank cut |
 |
| More insultation installation |
 |
| A fire burns down |
 |
| The whole ceiling here is now boarded |
It was great to see Bekir back today and I think Halil was happy too. With both working it was time to rig up a very dodgy looking (but safe - no one got hurt) sling supported scaffold that gave access to the ceiling above the stairs. Bekir fitted the spot light that I wanted and also did the insulation installation while Halil (who had no intention of walking on that contraption) did things he could reach for safe access points, and also cut the plasterboard and generally assisted. At lunch I got the mower out and mowed until I ran out of fuel, getting a fair amount of the back bank done. After lunch Bekir had shifted the wooden beams to a different angle to access more of the ceiling and progress was really good. Halil even started joint stripping some of it. They also did a fire and burned some waste, to which I added a few bits and pieces as well. By the end of the day all the ceiling there is now insulated and boarded so Monday they can start plastering it. Very exciting!

| Front lawns all mowed nicely |
 |
| Up under the vine |
 |
| Along the back bank |
 |
| Ginger beer to celebrate |
 |
| Curry and rice for dinner |
I had to go get some more fuel and when I got back I continued with the mowing, getting pretty much everything done before again the push along started sputtering; I'll just need to do next to the driveway by the vehicle gate tomorrow or Sunday, weather permitting. I was pretty tired when I came in and my beer went down very well with curry and rice.
So there it is; another week done. Thanks for reading and back on Monday.
