Electrician Ray Lond-Caulk returned to sort out wiring faults

After making a slow start to the day, electrician Ray Lond-Caulk returned to sort out wiring faults after which I completed constructing the veranda. I heard from Diana this evening and she intends to come and stay overnight tomorrow which will make a change.

The weather was dull all day and threatening to rain but it was only this evening that it did

I had been tired last night and was slow to get going this morning when I was surprised at 8.05am to find that Ray Lond-Caulk had arrived to tackle the wiring errors. I helped him get under the new boat-house accommodation where he found the lost wires and then, as I drilled and pulled from above, and he pushed up from below, we managed to get the wires in the correct position for him to connect. He then sorted out the cross-wired kitchen and outside lights but ran out of time to fix the boat-house lights and will still have to come back later in the week.

Apart from helping him, I spent the day completing work on the entrance platform/veranda which was needed to bring the entrance height up to the front door. It took me a long time to form the additional step, the man-hole trap door, and trim the whole to look and function well. Some little time this evening re-insulating the store-room cavities after being badly disturbed by the wiring changes and then to tidy up ready to make a start on another job tomorrow. I heard from Diana this evening and she intends to come and stay overnight tomorrow which will make a change. The weather was dull all day and threatening to rain but it was only this evening that it did, so which meant that my work was not affected.
