Construction Day 30 is 31 July 2014, scheduled for work on another site by Builder John’s team. The Quin roofing guys were due to arrive in the afternoon for a spell.
Overnight, we’d had some high gale-force winds with occasional monumental gusts, which all but threatened to rip the roots from under the trees. Then the wind abated a bit and the clouds opened up during our sleeping hours, delivering 8 mm between midnight and 7:00 am – I thought to myself that the roof guys would possibly be affected.
I took advantage of the lull in developments and drove down to Lower Hutt on a couple of long-outstanding errands and also to get some dark green paint for the fascias (in my Neutron days, we called the colour Old Cape Dutch Green or Heritage Green, and it was made of 4.5 litres Gloss Mid Brunswick Green and 500ml Black Gloss); John had already delivered me some sealer/primer to apply as undercoat for the soffit boards.
When I returned a number of hours later, Jeanette reported that the guys had been, had worked on one side of the roof, but had left again. Probably something to do with the impending rain.
I couldn’t start painting the fascias, as I have just discovered that they are half a metre longer than the garage, so that painting in the face of impending showers is not a sensible option. Oh, well… I’ll take a couple of photos for the record.
