Day 62- Out of the Woods Wednesday

It's a day of getting on. Break through at the bank...I've got the correct documentation and they assure me I'll get a loan. I spend some time with Julia, whom I've got to know over the years putting the paper in order. Needs face to face.
I drop the marble basin back at Pete's. He's so hemmed in by road works it's almost impossible to get through the door. He's not there, but I can imagine the frustration. It would kill business in the meantime. Seems unnecessary to physically cripple businesses like that. After picking Kahu up we head to the house. The plasterers have started. They're a cheery pair and definitely know what they're doing. One of them is on stilts which allows him to easily reach the high places. Grant next door is cheerily getting on with his diy. While Lance fills me in on the ins and outs of the paint and the plaster. It's just as well he's there. He's got his finger on the pulse.
One last stop at Designastyle to organise tiles and I'm home for a ride up the hill. Big news for the day is two 20 somethings who have been missing for 19 days in the bush near Nelson, have been found alive and hungry. Lucky. And we're beating Covid: 0 new cases today and only 3 left in the South Island.
