Last summer’s rain put an end to the refurbishment of the outside of the house after the west end gable had been completed.
Tony and Cole of Solent Scaffolding had erected the west end scaffolding on 8th July.
Only now has it been possible to pick up the work again on the east end gable. This time Tony’s companion was Matt.
Together this is what they achieved today.
This afternoon I watched the Wimbledon Ladies’ final between Barbora Krejcikova and Jasmine Paolini.
This evening we dined on Southern fried chicken; onion rings; chips; baked beans; and mixed veg.
Oh, my goodness, that meal is a classic! So good.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
It was an exciting match! Now who do you think will win tomorrow – Alcarez or Djokovic?
I meant Alcaraz!
Alcaraz
Wow–that’s a lot of work!
Thanks very much, Merril
I know better than to read your blog before dinner 🙂
🙂 Thanks very much, Bridget
Sometimes scaffolding can look like a ‘cubism’ piece of artwork Derrick …
Thank you very much, Ivor
What a wonderful achievement! Such hard workers!
Oh, your meal sounds yummy!
We fixed homemade veggie street tacos! Many veggies were consumed. 🙂
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thank you very much Carolyn XX
Hope it isn’t too hot for them, that’s quite a job they have to do!!
Thanks very much, GP
It is good to know the East will soon be in as good a condition as the West 🙂
Thanks very much, Anne
I’m not surprised it’s been a whole year before they could restart; the weather has been appalling.
We’ve also got a couple of repair jobs waiting on my side, the west wing.
Thanks very much, Sue
That meal sounds delicious, Derrick. I am glad to see the work progressing.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
The weather has been so mixed that a few houses in the village have had to wait for scaffolding to be put up.
Thank you very much, Gary
It must be a good feeling to see the work finally getting finished. Best to you and Jackie, Derrick.
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia
Nice to see the work finally getting finished.
Thanks very much, Aletta
I’m sure they’ll have the gable restored to its former glory in no time
Provided the rain abates! Thanks very much, Sheree
Fingers crossed ????
Slowly but sure, your house is taking shape.
Thank you very much, Dolly
I am quite embarrassed about my typos.
You are very welcome, Derrick.
No problem X
