The RUC is up!
I was out at the farm yesterday when the house movers lifted the RUC to its final height. It doesn’t look that high in the picture until you notice the two people standing under it.
I’ve been working on sanding and varnishing the doors for the past few weeks. I’ve nearly finished three single doors and have only got nine sets to go. Oh joy! I don’t even want to do the math.
If you look on the veranda you’ll see the French doors I’m dealing with (above and on either side of the ‘oversize’ truck). There are five sets of them that lead from the main house onto the veranda.
The door that has taken most of my time is the front door. It’s all oak and had over six layers of paint on it (it’s not in the picture but will be soon).
I’ve been given eight sets of French doors that are very old but in excellent condition. I’ll be using those for the spare room and my bedroom and was going to just sand and repaint them – BUT – when I began to scrape the paint off I realised they are all very old red cedar. I don’t know if you’ve ever worked with red cedar, but I’m smelling pretty sweet these days and people keep asking me what perfume I’m wearing. Once I’m finished one I’ll put up a ‘before’ and ‘after’ shot.
Before I went to the RUC on Monday morning I was reading some blogs and kept seeing something flutter out of the corner of my eye. After a while I got up to take a better look and saw this fantastic creature drinking the nectar of the flowers in the garden. I got a picture and Googled it. It’s called a Cairns Birdwing Butterfly. And it really is the size of a bird!
It looks great! I LOVE the smell of red cedar — and the butterfly 🙂

Looking Good Diane. In a few months all the rush and work will settle into memories and you’ll be livin’ large. So great to see the progress.
I had no idea how HIGH the RUC would be after she was stumped — it that a flooding issue? Just curious.

Yes – it should be because of a flooding issue, Peter (but the real fact is that hubby wants a ‘man cave’ underneath) LOL 😀 We do get floods here in QLD, but where the RUC is it has only ever flooded (from my memory) once when the water came up around my hips. But the land has been built up for the RUC now, so hopefully any flooding will go ‘around’ instead of ‘under’. 😉

Thank you so much, my dear! I’ve just come back from working on a door today that I thought I’d have finished by now, but it’s proving more difficult than I first thought (luckily I was born with A LOT of patience).

Yay! It’s up! One of my good fiends, who is Aussie, told me before about how houses on stilts are common Down Under (although, for some reason, I can’t recall why. Is it a form of flood-proofing?)
And I love that butterfly. But then, I love all your wildlife sightings. 🙂 It makes me want to come visit you and go exploring in nature. When I used to work in the national parks, one of my tasks one time was to catch, euthenize, and pin butterflies for educational purposes. Thankfully, I wasn’t very good at it, so not too many butterflies suffered for science.

We usually build high in Australia because of floods, Janna – but another reason for us building high is that hubby wants the ultimate ‘man cave’ and this is what the downstairs area will be LOL. 😀

I bought a vine called the birdwing vine as I heard the butterflies were threatened because of lack of habitat and source of this vine. Also another imported vine, Dutchmans pipe (don’t know the botanical names, I guess google could tell me) is a very similar flower but it is poisonous to the caterpillars so when the butterfly lays it’s eggs on the wrong vine the caterpillars all die.
So far no butterflies have visited my vine but so far it hasn’t flowered either. 😦
