The Build Blog: Rowan's been busy!

I'd like to say we've been busy- but that's just lies. Rowan has been busy and I've been... Keeping out of it.

I asked Rowan earlier, " can you do thinking and talking?" Because my idea of helping is talking and handing tools...

He said yes ...but I don't think he can.

So unless he's asks for help I leave him to create and think...

Which leaves me to talk to myself- and write blog posts.

Here's what Rowan's been up to this week.

It all started on Monday night with the orbital sander when Rowan sanded down the GIB stop. I knew this was happening because it vibrated the whole house. I also knew because of the thick cloud of dust that crept into the bedroom, then into the kitchen and lounge and settled in a layer over EVERYTHING. Of course I said to myself

"Lucky I love dusting"

On Tuesday it was a painting evening. I liked this because we got to have the windows open all night so we didn't drown in paint fumes from the undercoat.

Today we went for our return trip to Mitre10. We went to buy the architraves for the windows and doors in the bathroom. There are so many choices. We had to go back after we'd made a decision- Row had to do a lot of thinking about how it was all going to work out.

Rowan measured and cut the window frames... Only to realise he'd nailed them the wrong way!( maybe I had tried to talk to him while he was thinking?? ) although I'm still not sure about which way they should go.

So this is what it looks like when you pull them off the wall...

Now I don't want to put blame on anyone here but Sean, Tony, Alan or Brendon the door framing wasn't straight so Rowan had to 'pack out the frame' to make the door fit.
