Yeah the skies can be pretty special up here, never seen it do that before though!
Spent the last few days wearing my helmet up scaffolding giving a second coat of the gable ends and then another once over of the ceiling while I had the kit here. Chuffed with all the edges on the ceiling, would have been frustrating to do all of that and spend time just hating a curvy line once we’re in and sitting on the couch. (There’s still tape above the green wall as it needs another coat, that’s not a bad edge)
Got our lights delivered yesterday. black recessed spotlights for the bathroom and workshop and white for the bedroom. Had to get ip65 rated for the bathroom and fire rated ones for the workshop. Got these bulkhead lights for outside lights too, one next to the porch, one at each back door and then one next to the workshop door.
Also, the tiling has started too!! Need some thoughts on this, the tiling seems to be achingly slow and he’s doing it by the hour so I’m not sure if I’m getting the piss taken or not.. he originally said a week for tiling the whole house and 2 days for grouting, but there’s two of them and they’ve averaged 8m2 a day over the last two days.. I have read that a square metre an hour is reasonable but also read people saying it should take way less time than that..? They’re 155x620 or 6”x24” so aren’t small tiles..

Scaffolding up and a first coat of “letters unread” (someone is paid to make up these names..) on the gable ends. Not a whole lot different but I think it’ll make the place feel much warmer and less harsh than if it had been just white but still keep it feeling big and bright? Scaffolding seems a lot sturdier than last time even though it’s just single wide because of the extra diagonal legs which is nice. The wobble gave me the fear last time.
Also, another crazy sunset and a photo of nihil because there hasn’t been for a while.
