We spent this past week fixing things. First we decided our house was in bad need of a face lift. It has probably been 10 years at least since its last paint job. It was definitely time for the alternating purple, pink and yellow doors to go!
Bill is creatively using the double roller method to give our walls that special touch.
Trying to eat lunch in the middle of the mess. While the house is not yet finished, I can assure you that it is looking lovely. (After all, anything is an improvement over pink, purple, & yellow, right?)
Then this Sunday Bill took it upon himself to fix the church piano. (sorry, no photo) He just couldn't take the sad, discordant sounds any more. None of the pedals were working, the keys were sticking and several would not play. It was filthy dirty and badly out of tune. So...he took it all apart, (literally - the action taken out and disassembled, the keys all removed, etc.) cleaned everything, fixed the pedal mechanisms, repaired broken action pieces, sanded all the keys, put it all back together and tuned it! How's that for a days work?
Last month while landing at Kapi Roger "kissed" some tree limbs with the left wing - ouch.
The guys opted to simply get an entire replacement outer wing section and new aileron from the factory in New Zealand instead of spending months attempting a repair job. The crates finally arrived Tuesday night.
It was better than Christmas!
That is one, big, fat wing section.
Brooks and Bill supervise getting it into the correct position.
Three bolts...and it's on.
It's as simple as that.
See, I don't just take pictures. I help too. (That's me in the far dark right!)
Back in service again. A very happy day!
