Garage Update

This morning dawned a little overcast, but with the promise of a good, clear dry day.
There was a '5' drive organised, however. we had decided that if the weather was dry and bright we would not do the drive, we would complete the painting of the garage that we started a couple of weeks ago.
Paul took down the drainpipes and guttering, to make painting the fascias and soffets easier, and I took on the task of de-sliming them.

With a little help from Fred, I hosed down the centre of the guttering to remove the mud (how does mud get so high up??) then got the scrubbing brush and sponge out...

Meanwhile. Paul cleaned off the soffets and fascias in readiness to undercoat and gloss....


and then scrubbed the walls and washed them down to remove the worst of the algae.


Fred certainly had the right idea, and lay down on the rug to enjoy the sunshine....



and finally, after a few hours of hard graft the final finished, lovely white finish....

and a very big thank you from our neighbour for doing her side for her too!
