A sea of red

We had a marathon painting session yesterday, painting all the hardwood timber that will be used in the verandah roof.  It needs dressing, priming and then one topcoat before it can be used, all of which is much easier to do while it's on the ground!  My good friend Lincoln (aka The Cavalry), a retired professional painter, came and helped, which was greatly appreciated!

Here is Lincoln painting some of the battens Manor Red Lo Sheen, which will also be the colour of the Colorbond siding.

There is still some painting to go, but that will have to wait for a drier day, hopefully tomorrow.  Then, of course, it will all need a final topcoat once it's built.

The doors also arrived yesterday and they're superb!  Really excellent joinery and beautiful brass hardware.  The entry doors in particular will provide a very welcome entry!
