All done - lovely and white again. That's all the painting done - unless I think of something else of course. Had to be done - we're having people round for dinner next week.

Inspecting my handy work - have done another coat of varnish - is it never enough???

Dags att måla insidan av altanen. Susanne och Karin målar som vanligt med finess i rasande tempo.

My poor long suffering mother - had to help out again - no wonder her hair is going white!!!!
And that's not the paint either.


Bosse ser till att siliconfogarna är täta.

Equally long suffering dad - a master with the silicon gun - no more sneaky leaks.

Our bathroom to be. Jan has started on the inside, now all the painting on the outside has been completed. We had to take the floor up in preparation for the underfloor heating and plumbing.

A lot of fruit in the garden. Plums and apples among others.

We've even painted the floor and the stairway (a special oil for wood instead of varnish).

A slight improvement, I hope.

Our small pavilion.

Leaning garage in Diö - at least it's been painted.

We will attempt to straighten it up... to be continued.

After:

Classic swedish Faluröd (Falu red) and black doors. The red paint is a biproduct from copper mining, and has a preservative effect on the wood.

Notice any difference?
