Well this week has been quite an adventure for me. My lovely wife has been away with my son in Perth. I have been at home with the girls. Normally I get to go away and the more competent Julie is left at home with the kids.
So to make sure I get the full experience of kid minding challenges Julie enrolled me in a fixing and flushing night course. The first three nights occurring while she was away. So here I am trying to do Mr mum and all that, renovate the house and attend a course. Thanks to the late hours from the course there hasn’t been much in the way of renovation going on. It has been a good course so far, learning on how to install plasterboard.
All the other guys on the course are doing it for work purposes. Not me, I’m doing it because Julie thought it would be a great idea to get me some trade skills. More reno work coming soon!! She also added the justification that I would be more useful in a missions environment if I could build stuff. My normal line of work is more aligned with bringing stuff down.

The first night was all about the theory. Useful info, last night was about fixing the plasterboard to the walls and ceiling. Tonight we get real dirty and start doing the flushing. I must remember my hat tonight.

If I do any good I’ll see if I can get some photos of my work.
