WEEK 257- The Finishing goes on...& on....&on!

Sorry for the delay in updating the blog, unfortunately Jeff has retired from blog duty & I haven't had  time to update the blog since Brett's 50th last November.
The pool is still not finished! the edges are being fitted......it's a VERY slow process!
 
 

 
A deck was started last week, using the left over pieces of hardwood, it'll form a seating area by the BBQ, it's a wonderful spot which catches the afternoon sun with less wind....perfect place for a Pimms!



 
Alex has made a ladder to access the top bunk....next job is to fit mosquito nets.

I've re-finished the worktop in the en-suite bathroom of guest bedroom 1, a waterproof oil finish sealer, suitable for kitchens & bathrooms....looks fab, no water stains!

The basement bedroom now has furniture made by Shevran & O'Neil from the local wood I had cut.



The gutter at the front has been cleared & finished off with a row of blocks.


A camera pole has been put up at the side ready for the CCTVinstallation.


The wood under the pool deck has been cleared & taken to the Stone house....the next project.


The wood stacked at the back has been moved & taken to the Stone house....to be used for the next scaffold......when the roof gets replaced.







The most exciting progress is the garden, which is taking shape & will be ready for planting by rainy season. I've bought some beautiful feature palms from a neighbour to set the scene.



Vincent planted the Date Palm within a stone wall which makes a real statement, looks great against the stone walls.




 
Inside Mutti & I potted a couple of fan palms on the main terrace.
