With the 2023 season fast approaching we made the long trip from Australia back over to our 2nd home in Dalyan to work on the apartments and get things ready for our guests!
We made a trip in to Ortaca to buy some building supplies, paint and extra tools to supplement the ones we brought with us and got started on the main job - repairing the timber rails, and painting the exterior of the Greenhouse. We sanded back the front rail and cut out the rotten bits, replacing it with new timber. Three coats of new varnish later and it's looking better than new! Two coats of white paint out the front also really freshened up the place!
Our friend Murat helped us buy a fresh piece of timber that we could fashion into a tabletop for the dresser in the Greenhouse. It was a bit of a job getting the shape right. We were really careful not to mess it up because we didn't have time to start a new one! Luckily we didn't, and when we finally installed and oiled it, it looks great!
