Wheres the new boy

When he finally manages to sign and return the contract he's not due to start until 1st October.
He's taking so long to return the paperwork that I'm beginning to think he's changed his mind.

First real day of scaffold tower usage done. It is in the direct sun from sparrow's cough till about 3PM so I am well cooked.
I am also filthy dirty from all the mechanically removed paint dust & debris.
I got all the many layers of paint off from the pargeting mock-Tudor beams in the centre section and they are relatively smooth now (a quality silver-sand render indeed).
It is all on a lath & wooden frame so there has been movement and cracks over the years (84) since the house was built.
I gave the exposed rendered sections a coat of stabiliser to seal the surface and then a good thick coat of a dark-grey undercoat.
I have now moved the tower to the right in order to get at the far right of the bay tomorrow and I shall do the same process there.
I am pleased with the 6 hours of work and the progress so far. Enough for one day, I think. I'm pretty bushed TBH.

No, not at all.

Ain't no going back.

 

[My Old Landy]

Indeed, I hope to not go back again this year

 

[DanClarke]

Yes, let them stew in their "unappreciative-juices" for a while.
