Well done, my good and faithful servant

The words that make up the title of this post are words we live to hear, and perhaps heretically i whisper them over the ever present servants in the house project. An era came to an end as I returned the scaffolding, mixer and trailer back to Pops Ward. They were essential equipment for our restoration and I thank Pops Ward and Grandpops Ward for the extended loan I have been privileged to receive - it would have been a lot harder and more expensive without these items. So, thank you.

And well done, my good and faithful servants.


The mixer that has mixed all the plaster that is now stuck to our walls and ceilings, and the scaffolding used to strip the outside of the house and during the re-rendering. Would have been tricky without it.

The trailer that has carried all the rubble from the house (old plaster and fireplace and ceilings etc) and also all the new materials, like sand and lime from Womersleys. A dedicated work horse for sure.
