The balcony railing is finally up after several weeks of planning, discussing, measuring, fitting and thinking about it. There are tools everywhere; in fact, we can start a hardware shop. We visit the hardware shop every day for more tools and materials. We have every drill-bit in the book, every screw imaginable, every hammer and chisel and electric hand-held wood-cutting device. On Saturday afternoon two good wine-drinking buddies helped us to paint the ceiling in the kitchen-dining area so that we can now fit the light fittings there. (Ha! That the ceiling is not painted is no longer an excuse!) We had so much fun painting and then making dinner, we forgot to take a photo of the two painters perched on ladders. As you can imagine, they refused to pose for photos on ladders (or off ladders for that matter) after dinner of wine and food...
