| Double volume ceilings have their pro's and cons :) |
But, cleaning cobwebs from the corners of a double volume ceiling isn't that easy. And we have lots, and lots and lots of spiders here :)
So, at 1.8mtrs tall (which is more than me), RMan was assigned that task.

| Corner is dusted and sorted. To give you perspective, RMan is 1.8-odd mtrs tall and that wooden plank is +/- 2.8 mtrs = +/- 4.5 mtrs up to that corner |
It didn't take long, and involved getting one of the remaining pieces of fencing wood to which he securely attached the duster.
That's that done for another few months :) With that task complete one wonders if Spring is in the air?
I have proof positive...
After the (mainly) good harvests achieved on the northern hemisphere blogs I follow, I'm sure you don't mind relinquishing the growing season over to all of us in the south. After all - the circle must continue...
And, after last years dismal tomato harvest due to ignorance and blossom end rot, I'm keen to get going again this year :)

My test plots got washed away. All the dark potting soil I had to buy and haul from town up to the mountain top went down slope with everything else. I think you have to have the right mind set to be a good gardener, and I don't seem to have inherited those genes. >:-(
ReplyDeleteAh Harry - I'm sorry to hear that - perhaps placing some rainwater diversion channels would have helped.
DeleteIf at first you don't succeed, try and try and try again... :) C'mon, don't give up - please :D
I love that I now get to read about southern hemispheres springs and summers now as we go into autumn and winter. It keeps me thinking about the year after. That said our growing season isn't over yet! It has been a good year - I hope yours will be as well!
ReplyDeleteKev - I try to be as positive as possible, but I have to say that I am concerned for our upcoming summer. Why - well, we have not really had a winter. 2 - 3 weeks of cold weather, and very little rain. For a winter rainfall area that is not good!
DeleteDani, That wood that RMan used for that has to be pretty heavy and hard to handle. They make screw together painters extension poles that are made of thin wall aluminum and come in about 3 or 4 foot sections that screw together. Might be good to find a set and they can be broken down and easily stored. Just a thought. ;) As for giving up our HOT weather to you'll. Well I'm ready to give up the HOT, but am surely not looking forward to the COLD!
ReplyDeleteTffnguy - That's s brilliant idea - must see if I can find one here.
DeleteHey - I don't want your heat YET - we haven't had a proper winter thus far...;)
The circle must continue. I love that thought. :)
ReplyDeleteYour plum blossoms make me smile. Here I've noticed the polar leaves starting to turn yellow, harbingers of autumn.
Best of luck with your tomatoes this season. Last year was a tomato disaster for us. We lost them all to blight. This year we've had a fine crop. The circle continues...
Bill - Both Spring and Autumn have their beauty, don't they? I love the autumn colours too - and I think that is also because I prefer winter weather to the (sometimes overpowering) heat of summer :)
DeleteOh the trouble of Things Up High! I have a burned-out lightbulb in my workshop (at the highest point of the ceiling) and you've just reminded me I need to get up on a ladder and replace it. Also a shattered floodlight over my front door, but that one requires the extension ladder and non-wobbly legs, so I have to pick my day carefully for that job!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see signs of Spring, Dani. I hope there's still time for some rains before your hot and dry season arrives? Fingers crossed!
Quinn - Things Up High indeed!! And The Main Man Up High too as far as rain is concerned :)
