Chim-chimney, Chim-chimney, Chim-chim Cheroooo!!!

Ah-ha....who's that hard-working girl up on the scaffold?? Gosh darn it's me!!! Yes, finally pictures of me hard at work. The reason for so many pics of me this blog is because my camera went ka-phewy. So we have a guest photographer, Nikki. She took some great shots....funnily enough most are of her boyfriend Blake...hmmm, go figure. We had a great few days thanks to all the help from Mick"turty-tree" Dowling, Blake"the snake"Waters, "The Units" and Brad-Leigh"eats worms"Burns.

Hey, here I am again taking down the courses of brick on the second floor addition area. It took a couple of days to remove all the brick and the ensuing mess...one of the many dirty jobs I seem to get. There's alot more brick removal in my future.

Hey look....it's a huge mother f$#%ing gable wall. Mr. Mic arrive just in time to admire it's beauty. He's got great timing...a little late for the erection huh Mic (tee-hee) Enough teasing. See the little gable to the left, he helped with that one. Don't worry, size doesn't matter Mic....they're all important in the greater scheme of things.

A look at the garage entrance and staircase.

This is Nikki's room also known as "the library". The exposed brick and wall to wall(and ceiling)bookshelves will be the features of this room as well as french doors onto the back deck, a private bathroom and walk-in closet and gasoline storage.

Hey, where did I go???? Unfortunately, on to the next messy job but look...all done. Now, Papa Smurf has to fill it back in.

Blake is learning how to frame. First lesson....balancing a piece of 1x2 on your head. " Look ma...no hands!!!!"

One, Two ,Three....heave ho. Notice Ross has the lighter end with

the doorway.

I don't mean to look so happy, but at least I am still on the ladder. Latter in the day, the "evil-doers" will knock me off another ladder on the second floor. I survived the fall with a badly bruised arse and elbow , fortunately no injury to my corny sense of humour....Sorry :).

I have no idea who is being pointed at and what they have done to piss Ross off . If you want to write a caption for me, feel free...I'll post it on the next blog.

I thought Stevie Wonder was black.

This is a great shot of Papa Smurf enjoying his trade.

Blake learning how to lay out a wall...not a platform Nikki

(tee hee).

Now, why would Papa Smurf give

the finger?

Ahhhh...that's why. Brad is demo -ing the

roof over his head.

Blake gets to use the air gun. No trips to the hospital.

Brad has the sheet metal off the left side of the old roof. Underneath are the original cedar shakes. Of course, Blake is in the foreground. Remember who is taking the photos.

Working on the second floor partition walls. I think someone lost a contact.
