Being confined to barracks (most of the time) means if got a bit of spare time, on a reasonable cooler day (25c) I decide to gurney the paths. Donāt think theyāre ever been done before, took me most of the day.
Iām a grime artist.

Looking for a breakfast place today I came across this. Do we get a baby goat or just the child of inattentive parents?

I hadnāt realised how far Lounges had spread.
They are very good at finding local connections. I like Keynsham, the first I ever visited.

Things are happening got 4 trades on site today, record. All busy doing their thing. Itās been over year since I cleaned these bricks, finally get a chance to see them relayed. Weāve had 2 plans keep them as is or white wash them.

Whitewash for me Pete, all day longā¦
Actually, tell you what can be nice and arguably a touch softer, is proper Lime Wash ā it absorbs into the masonry and feels more integral in a way, can get quite a subtle chalky aestheticā¦

At this stage weāre not going to do anything, weāll wait until the other walls in place . Iām leaning more to the wash but the other half has only seen a photo, sheās not sure.
Another advantage of a hydrated Lime based Wash, unlike paint, is that you can fairly easily reverse it, especially if you initially apply in a thin mix ratioā¦it will actually wipe off. Handy if you start to become unsureā¦!
Experimenting with the Lime/Water mix ratio, as well as the number of coats, also allows for different finished results re opaqueness/transparencyā¦ā¦

Iāve bought an airless spray gun weāre going to use that, the white paint has a shot of black in it, you apply it lightly. Weāll do sample bricks first to make sure weāre only doing it once.

Sounds good, will be interesting to see.
Yeah, Iāve been thinking about getting a Wagner spray gun ā toying with the idea of spraying the roof tiles on this old placeā¦
Wonāt be till after summer thoughā¦! 
A friend is visiting family in WA recons it damn hot and dry.
I paid about $1,300 for the sprayer from Bunnings.
Yeah, it isā¦!
To be fair, except the week before Xmas, it hasnāt been too bad so far this year and seems to be variable dips in between hot stretchesā¦.Got a 40Ā° coming up in a few days, so another hot stretch to come I guessā¦
Was out all day yesterday watching the cycling National Champs up at Kings Parkā¦They were lucky it wasnāt a scorcher but even the low 30 was enough when youāre in and out of it all dayā¦and I wasnāt even riding!
