This week has been mostly.........

WOODWORK

So far this week I have painted the studio door, which was something that had needed doing for a loooooong time.

Whilst doing this noticed marks on the cedar woodwork, like someone had been scratching.  Discovered the culprit to be a wasp which was stripping the wood for a nest, which I think might be under the roofing felt.  Have looked up on the internet to find out what was going on, and what we should do.  Undecided yet, as the roof edge is going to be finished with the unused trim from the house, and don't want to incarcerate the poor things that will be in the nest.  


SUNDAY saw the arrival of Howard, with the pigeon holes for the kitchen and the timber to finish off the corners where the windows join on to the brick chimney, which now just need to be oiled.

Yesterday I put a white wash on the pigeon holes and today finished with a coat of clear acrylic varnish.  Some discussion as to painting the wall behind them before they go up....... always a concentrated discussion on colours; lime green, bright turquoise, pink?  Watch this space.
