Quick update, Jakubowizna

Big difference over a week! Below: the kitchen, with bathroom and back bedroom at the end. Needed: kitchen cabinets, cooker/oven, sink, work surfaces, light shades, table and chairs.


Upstairs, now the floor is clear, plenty of light. Again, light fixtures needed, furniture - done!


View of the upstairs room from the front balcony.


Below: rear patio, railings need painting.


Below: the garage - whole lot of work needed here. Weatherproofing a first priority!


Below: the front - paving done, all that's needed for the elevations is thermal isolation and plasterwork, then painting.


Meanwhile, at Chynów station, track modernisation work continues apace over the weekend. Two ballast trucks stand on the (closed to passenger traffic) 'up' line. There's currently no train of an evening between 17:04 and 19:02.


Last week I showed hops growing on a no-through road sign in Jeziorki. I picked those hops and made three and half litres of hop extract to mix with sparkling mineral water to produce a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage with the bitterness of an IPA.

A fine weekend weatherwise, but temperatures now autumnal; even in the midday sun two layers are a minimum. Despite the sunshine, top temperature this weekend was 15C, ground frosts expected soon.
