The timber fence around the property at Burpengary is looking shabby and in need of some paint. I managed to get in an hour of painting in this afternoon before a sprinkle of rain talked me into packing up early.

Just saying…… Dude, your yard needs attention!
We are in the middle of negotiations with a couple of kitchen/cabinet makers. The plans have been drawn up and we are considering the following.
Option 1. Purchase entire kitchen which will include cupboards, draws and overhead cupboards which are to be supplied flat packed and we will install. Sink, dishwasher, oven, cook top, range-hood, stone bench-top including installation, glass or stone splash-back including installation. Supplier to coordinate deliveries and work. Does not allow for plumbing (if required) Electrician (if required).
Option 2. Purchase components individually and coordinate deliveries and work ourselves. Sourced Cabinet Maker for kitchen cupboards, draws and overheads to be supplied flat packed and will be installed ourselves. Sourced Stone Mason for bench-top and splash-back. Sourced glass maker for splash-back in case we go this way. Sourced white-goods. Does not allow for plumbing (if required) Electrician (if required)
Option 1 will cost roughly $1,500.00 more than option 2.
Back to the kitchen supply company offering option 1 to see if we can negotiate further.

Thanks Ian. I enjoy painting. The current renovations we are doing on the house will be the 3rd time I have painted the inside. This is only the second time I have needed to paint the fence in 22 years. I wonder how long I will get out of this paint?

The fact it lasted 22 years is your dry climate in the UK we are lucky to get two years as we have a wet climate and it greens early.

Yes sorry thought it was something different l do that but still only lasts 2 years – timber is rubbish and paint is no better – we cheapen everything in Britain nothing made well anymore.
Take care Ian 🌹
