Thursday... 10 June

Up early, visitors coming and the project soooo close to finishing for the boys. They had the safety boots on before breakfast today, such was the enthusiasum. First they went out and collected scaffolding which cost the usual carton rental. Then they moved my little house and finished the framework of the new shed. They even put a couple of pieces of colorbond onto the roof to make the project look that little bit more completed. They were such happy workers they skipped lunch to be able to finish early for the day. They packed away their tools and dismantled the scaffolding and took it back from where it came. They put my little house back on its allotted spot and fiddled until the spirit level said they could stop. Then the poor loves came home all tired out but happy to be finished and able to sit down and spend an hour or two patting each other on the back. Did not happen! Visitors due around lunchtime failed to show. Just as the boys were sitting down to rest, phone rang to say visitors were broken down 10kms out of town after shearing off a wheel on their caravan, on a trip from Perth to Kalbarri today. Sorry boys, pack some tools and jacks and off  you go to rescue the broken down caravan of incoming visitors. Hours later having layed on their backs on the bitumen to fix the problem enough to limp the broken van into town they got the longed for cold drink. One is now asleep on patio, other is in hot bath trying unlock cramped muscles. What a shame when they had so much to celebrate. Never mind lads, maybe tomorrow, after you fix the broken van you can celebrate finishing the shed!!!
