Flue in place

The flue is ready for the wood burning stove to go on top of the fireplace (still to be built!)

Eartha and Bram visit

Eartha and Bram on the balcony (without a handrail yet!) leading to the master bedroom xx

Ewerby double rainbow

 

Just had to put this in.  So beautiful!  Perhaps it is an omen that we will sell the house......

Not the very best place to dump the gravel!!

 

We heard the lorry arrive, heard the gravel being dumped ready for the sewage plant and then heard it leave again!  And where was it?  Right in the middle of the drive with our car parked behind...... Nothing ever surprises us and we were able to squeeze past the skip to escape!   Just noticed Gord doing a John Hunter trawl through the skip!

Sewage!

It took Allertons and Dick and Harry Baines just two days to dig out and place the sewage plant!  All ready to go - so to speak!

Insulation well on the way

The pink insulation is fireproofed for the wood burner.  This is the small room next to the kitchen which is where I will be relaxing while Gord is cooking!!

Dining room back wall rendered ready for the fireplace which is going to be built to resemble the feeding troughs that were here originally......  see below.  Log storage below and the woodburner on top - that's the idea anyway.......

Weeds overtaking plants!

 

The garden is amazing! - plants are growing like crazy considering this is only year two - but so are the weeds (which I am hoping you can't see too much from this picture).  The view at the back almost looks as though it is part of the garden too.  So pretty with the rape at the moment......
