Plumbing the water tanks

More work was done today on plumbing the water tanks.

More action behind the tanks.

Water tanks installed

The water tanks were position in their final resting place today. This view looking west.

This view in the opposite direction. Note the top of the two tanks are at the same height. A thing of beauty.

As a result we have a lot more room in the front yard.

and the study windows.

Installation of windows

Today was the start of the installation of the high gable windows. In the walk-in-robe the old window was removed

and the new one installed.

The deck beam was also painted.

Some of the scaffolding on the southern side of the house was dismantled.

Windows arrive

Yesterday a second coat was painted on the eaves and blue board at the eastern and northern sides of the extension.

Also the large deck post got two coats of "Ironstone Blue".

The most exciting event happened today with the arrival of the high gable windows. Hopefully they will be installed tomorrow but doubt it since the rain is back.

A big day of painting

Lots done today. Prep and first coat on the upper eaves on the eastern side of the extension.

Guess what? More painting

and the southern side.

Plumber returns again

The plumber returned again today. He laid pipes for the storm water from the water tanks through the front yard. This photo for the last section out to the street.

Continuing under the path and then a turn to the right towards the house.

Finally up and over the retaining wall to the tanks.

Also did some painting. This shows the first coat on the fascia board in "Ironstone Blue".
