OMG, lol, well I guess it is not funny but in the recent mid forties heatwave here in northern Victoria, my renovators delight summer retreat began to fall apart.  Well the timber, fascia boards, over the tops of my windows that the curtain rails attach to, fell off.  It appears they had only been glued on. Talk about the house that crack pot built.   No problem really, we deliberately chose a low value home for our summer retreat and a top value car and caravan, because our life and interest is one of the highways of Australia, not bricks and mortar homes, being our interest and lifestyle, at this stage of our lives.

Thank goodness, for clamps they are one thing that travels with us, wherever we tour. Right now, they are holding the timber board back up until the new lot of glue sets, and then we will firmly nail the board back on, lol, this place might have been built by crackpot but it’s being renovated by a pair of gray nomads have their heads firmly clamped on, with brain in gear.
