Just like a Present



With the beginnings of a roof!

Still getting ready for the Roof

With the guttering and flashing



100 sheets of ply wood - the cladding - all stained and shifted by yours truly.

Preparing for the Roof



The roof line is a little different from planned.

I know... it's big.

But it means there's lots of room for you!

Upstairs

The loft upstairs


Looking downstairs from aloft. All those sheets of ply stacked in front of the fire are the cladding. Doesn't look like much, does it? We'll be painting it soon - it'll feel like more then, no doubt!



Looking down from aloft. The hole in the wall on the left will be a window, the one on the right, french doors.


Looking down, still. We're hoping to run a window seat along these windows. On the right is a small playroom/nursery. Behind it (for the record, if you're visiting) is the toilet and bathroom.


This is my favourite bedroom. If you come to visit, I'll try and put you in here. Marijke has first dibs on it, though.
