Day 1 of fencing

Start of fencing along the northern boundary line.

A nice straight line.

More repointing and painting

Last Friday I finished the repointing of the bricks at the porch.

Today I did a prep coat on the bricks.

Also painted the doors to the "man cave".

Here they are installed.

Repointing

Today I tried my hand a repointing the brickwork at the front porch.

I still need to fill in a bit more but it doesn't look too bad.

Removal of temporary fencing

Today the temporary fencing was removed from along the northern boundary.

This was done in preparation for installing a fence along the northern boundary.

After a few hours, rubble and vegetation were removed from a section of the boundary line. More work tomorrow.

Painting of porch floor

After many hours of removing layers of old house paint rather than paving paint we were able to apply the first coat of paving paint.
