A Posse of Painters

The doors were locked and we had to make do with peering through the windows of our new home.  The painters had been busy inside, but they had locked up and gone home by the time we came calling yesterday.  Today was a different story though, there were painters everywhere.  A couple of them were busy outside painting under the eaves,  and some of them were sitting down in the garage finishing off their lunch of fish and chips.

We popped inside to have a look around, as couldn’t see much yesterday through the windows.  The interior doors were stacked up against the walls, waiting to be hung.  Robin is in the sitting room, the kitchen is on the other side of the partition wall and is still awaiting the cabinets.  Electrical wires are hanging out, ready to be finished off.

We did comment to ourselves that the rooms look tiny – although they are sure to look better once everything is finished and the furniture is in place.  Sitting on the garage floor was the recently delivered (unassembled) shower all boxed up, waiting for a visit from the plumber, we expect.  The front door is in place, still wrapped in plastic covering for protection.  The security screen door is yet to be installed on the outside, as are the fly screen panels over the two ranch slider doors.  It’s all coming along like clockwork!
