Works of art arrive...

Busy day. Actually, busy weekend too. I have spent the last few days in the roof cabling up cameras for the externals, and finally they are done. I came across the biggest red back spider I have seen as I lay on my belly feeding Cat 6 cable through the wall between the two houses. Ex red back spider I should say. That is all done now, with just one more internal camera in the lounge to mount and we're there.That one will be easy.

The best bit about today was seeing the works of art painted by Ray Lodge (Ken's brother), being delivered. Man they are awesome, and couldn't be more suitable for the place. The lounge has paintings of scenes of Wilpena Pound, which is in the Flinders Ranges in the north of South Australia. It is also an Aboriginal sacred site, so these paintings are very special to us indeed. They lift the place no end. It feels luxurious to say the least, we are just so lucky to have them here. We have done the lounge and the small hall to the main part of the building, and tomorrow we will be tackling the rest.





Gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice....

The guys started putting the tin back on the roof again as well today. It looks so much better each day I come to work, and that job will be finished either this Wednesday or Thursday. They still have to go and buy some lead to replace the old stuff that was completely had it, so that the joins seal properly. It is looking good though.
