Painting Facia Boards

Sharyn and Mitch are moving into Lorilea, Mum and Dad's old home at Ball Bay. It was built in 1932 by Sharyn's great grandfather, Henry Buffett. Dad still lives there by himself at 90 years of age, so it will be really good for all the family to have Sharyn and Mitch there also. There's some work to be done on the old home, and they've started already with a new roof. Next are the facia boards and that's where I come in.
Mitch had all the timber laid out at Aaron's place on the lawn, and Shaz was going to do the paint thing. Three full coats and an early start.
Mitch called down to see how the workers are doing. He seems pleased with the progress (though he'd be some sort of fool to not be pleased with us ~ to our faces, anyway) so he's now free to head back to work.
Tzarn and Sarah call down after lunch to give us much needed assistance if we are to finish in time. Hmmm. Tzarn is a professional painter. Maybe we should have called him first!
Tzarn and Sarah working at a rate of knots ~ through the mandarines!
...and Ollie dog on the back of Papa Smurf, staying right out of our way. If anyone would like to call down and help this coming weekend, you simply must do so.
