Tedious Job

I spent half the day making sure the bottom flyscreen rail will fit on the new veranda wall. The aluminium vertical rails had to be cut down a couple of millimetres, and that was a tedious job. I started with a hacksaw, but could not go close to the wall. An electric multi function tool did most of the work, but I had to finish with the file.

The bottom rail had to be cleaned, particularly the groove that receives the flyscreen and spline. The supplier will come next week to quote on supplying the screen, new spline and special roller.

Before refitting the safety rail I redrilled all holes and filled them with silicone, to hopefully prevent water penetrating the timber frame of the veranda wall.

A cute 6 month old Groodle lives two doors away. She has just been desexed so has to stay on her lead. She and Blue are friendly with each other but can’t play while Harley is recovering from her operation. The humans owners of Harley are keen to have Bluey visit.

We had dinner at an Italian restaurant tonight to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The food was good, but the routine intrusions by the wait staff asking if we were enjoying our meals were a bit much.
