The build

Very pretty SC.

What is the power source for the light?

They will be hard wired into the electrics . Just waiting for a driver for them. Which in my head is a little magic box that converts it from what ever it’s power input / output it uses now to it being compatible with mains voltage.

I thought they might be solar lights (as I used to have some like that), but couldn't work out where the panel would be!

It was quite tricky to find plug in ones (which s what they currently are) . So many are battery. Or rechargeable or like you say solar.

Today’s big plan was go to Oban. Bob goes to pick up plaster and beading. I go to get a kitchen design done. Ferry has been booked since the weekend. Yesterday afternoon one of the ferries broke down again (it happens so frequently it’s no longer funny!). This means they change our ferry times going to Oban. This only gives us an hour actually in Oban. Not enough time to discuss kitchen plans. So I stayed home. Just enough time for Bob to collect stuff. Once Bob was over there back in the ferry queue. Realised the time of the ferry he was supposed to be on no longer existed! Went into the calmac office and managed to get a crossing back home at 5 past 2. So he had another 3 hours to wait for his ferry! So I could quit easily have gone as well. Apparently if you’ve booked ferry crossings quite close together. They don’t bother telling you of any changes to your booking. Sounds like BS to us! But then again I wouldn’t put it past the unreliable incompetent muppets!
So I’ve been again taping. I’m starting to hate tape! I also laid cardboard in the bedroom and porch, ready for the plasterer.
    That’s the beading for round windows. In photo as well.

I bet the air was blue when you found out.

A few choice words were said

Today has been a tiny bit of taping and a lot of tidying up. Had a cottage clean to do this afternoon. Took a while because the painter had been in most of the week. Let’s just say I wouldn’t let him paint my house! Bob dug a hole in the driveway. Which I started filling with plasterboard offcuts and the dust it created. Apparently our tip won’t accept plasterboard in case it’s got asbestos in it. So digging holes in the driveway and dumping it and crushing it with the digger bucket, then back filling is pretty much all we can do. The driveway still needs a lot more gravel and a top dressing anyway. And it not getting buried in the garden where it could be found again in the future. Some existing deliveries came today as well. Lights for kitchen & utility & floor tile samples. We’ve now chosen our porch & bathroom tiles.

The first house I ever bought had loads of plasterboard pieces I needed to get rid of?. At the bottom of the garden I built a big mound with it then covered it in soil and planted broad beans in it.They were the best broadies I have ever grown!

    Plasterboard taping is done   . I’m celebrating that little win.

I finished taping the kitchen & dinning room. While Bob buried all the scrap plasterboard. We also sold the spare 12 sheets of plasterboard to the farm as they’re currently renovating one of the cottage’s.
