Wednesday 27th April - Day 27

With the public holidays Monday and Tuesday both washed out, I was pretty keen to actually get some work done today. The skies were definately menacing but we managed to make a start on the cutting down of the North wall and attempt to get it level. Pete would agree that this is obvioulsy more difficult than it sounds. I heard Pete swear more today that I have in the 12 years that I've known him. Every cut of the saw was either to big or too small.  It was almost funny to me, but not.. Just prior to achieving Nirvana, we were interrupted and forced into a morning tea break when the skies opened. Luckily it was a passing shower and we were only grounded for about 15 minutes. After coffee we managed to get a plate that approximated level and then John turned up. Perfect timing to assist standing up the Yellow Tounge flooring. Thanks John. The skies almost cleared as we put up board after board. Half way done I looked up and Clay was watching from the street. No sooner had he arrived, then he had a work call and had too leave. Maybe tomorrow he'll be able to taste the "sweet sensation" of International Roast coffee that he love sooo much. Around 2:30 with the rain starting to fall, we discovered that we were one piece of yellow tongue short. The mad rush to finish what we had and to cover the new floor with the tarp carried us to beer O'clock. Pete had done his day and I went to the timber yard to for the last piece of flooring and a bunce of 6 * 2 pine. The pine will be used for kitchen ceiling and roof joists. Gaz, as usual was Johnny on the spot and came to help unload the timber as soon as I arrived. Shit we have good neighbours and friends.
