Day One (September 15) -arrival by bus from Calgary. Knights Peter and Gideon were big helpers.
The manor as it looked before the hard working painter/labourer began his work.

After one day of rest, the work began -pruing six mature maple/pine trees...
Knight Peter assists in gathering up the brush.
Next, spraying ceilings -livingroom, diningroom, hallway/foyer. Opa's motto -"always return things to where you found them, even in better condition -hence the cleaning of the spray gun" . 
-awnings are gone, trees are pruned, sheers taken down = house is much brighter inside.
Escaping the work and relaxing at the end of the day...
The manor had an in-house cook, bottle washer, launderer, ironer, children's book reader for the duration of the "work holiday". What a delight to not have too cook supper after a hard day of work painting, hauling brush....
Following a wonderful feast, energy was at a high point and the knights wrestled one last time on the pink carpet.
Knight Gideon prepared to work with tape measure on belt, pencil behind ear and a patch on the forehead to prove he's "Gideon the strong!" (the result of hurting the brick fireplace when his head hit it requiring a visit to the local ER for stiches -he's recovered well).

Break time - opening one of the two birthday gift packages sent by the Lady's sisters. The knights proceeded to pop bubble wrap for the next days........
