Drains and cleaning, and scrubbing and scraping

Hi,

So the next biggish job is to get the render lime washed. This will take 3 coats and a minimum of 24 hours is needed between coats. But before we do that we need to cleanup and tidy up.

So saturday was spent replacing the downpipe on the rear elevation from the guttering to the drain. This was reasonbily easy but involved putting some wooden blocks on the wall for spacers. Hannah and I then spent the rest of the time scraping windows and window frames, cleaning doors and floors and cleaning up render spray from neighbouring houses.

There is still a bit more to do but we've made a decent start. Neither of us enjoy this kind of work!

here's a picture of our new drain pipe... i also made some modifications to the pipe from the pump and the drainage pip from the kitchen sink/washing machine so they no longer splash up /run down the wall. Splendid.
