9th February 2025 - Painting the Gargoyle Buttress

Thought for the day :"I was asked what is the best thing about Switzerland and I answered that their flag is a big plus"

Dry

2025 : Wet 19 : Dry 20

Back to the List ...

Decided that the buttress holding the Patio up was looking very shabby, the salt is coming out of the mortar and makes it look as though it is weeping. Still have White masonry paint as the last wall has not been skimmed yet so decided to take one off the list
