Another warm sunny day in SE Queensland. Susan mislead me about our working arrangements. We do have tomorrow off but actually had to work extra today to make up for it!
Susan spent most of the day painting under the eaves or should I say repainting,. She used the undercoat yesterday but was supposed to not have painted them at all since they had already been painted. It wasn't her fault, she was lead astray by Des and corrected today by Irene. The rest of the time she was painting the steel under the house with primer and a nice blue topcoat from a tin I think that was used by Noah.
I was nominated to build some shelves in the pantry with some fairly non specific requirements. The shelving material was reclaimed laminex shelving supported by some home grown, sawn and planed timber. I spent all day on this and it is not quite finished. The shelves weren't big enough for the space and the space was not plumb being deeper at the top. Of course the support timber was bowed as well. However I proceeded in good humour and it turned out pretty reasonable. Some no more gaps and a coat of paint and it will be passable. I also used a nail gun for the first time.

| Shelves! the curved uprights are actually an artifact from the camera lens |

The late finish meant no fishing for me which means I don't have to wrestle with filleting catfish tonight. The yabby traps have been unproductive apart from some small sprat fish.
Tomorrow we will take a tour around the area so there should be some good pictures around the Glasshouse Mountains tomorrow night.
night folks
Simon
