SHAMELESS!!

FINN HAVING AGO AT BRICK LAYING

we  are now getting the boy's grafting for us at the weekends, and yesterday we even had cousin william here all day digging holes!!,

Since my last post, a lot has been happening the scaffolding has all been taken down, most of it has gone from site we are still finding it in the grass, makes mowing the lawn quite exciting!, ...
........so Pete has been able to bring the digger around to the front and we have now finished all the drainage and the architect and building inspector have signed them off and they wont be back on site now until completion.

The pipes have all been laid for the rainwater harvester, and yesterday whilst Pete could still remember where the pipes where we planned out and dug the trenches for the verandah,

 

Inside all of the upstairs rooms have had at least one coat of paint and the main bathroom has been tiled and the guest ensuite has a floor,

I have painted all the under cladding for the verhandah and, they have started plaster boarding downstairs, we have found a way to age all the age the new floorboards - set fire to them in a controlled way and then wire brush them, you have to burn them in a controlled way, and when Pete is ready to say goodbye to his fringe brows and lashes we will give it a go!!!, we have been to fletchers and found some nice wide boards for the family room and kitchen and slates for the fire places, I am back on with the idea of a boiling water tap!!!, and we cleared the garage to start building the furniture, started with the sink unit for our ensuite................

.............there is still an huge amount to do but it is all good fun and life in the caravan is much better with the  nicer weather and soon we will have water and electric in the garden room.
