Latest action.

Just to let you know that I have not been idle since moving in!

As you can see the dry stone wall is under way-it has taken me all day to dig the foundations, move all the stones up from the farmers field and lay a few of the foundation stones.

It is very satisfying work, but backbreaking.

The other photo is of our arrival (and departure as he fledged 3 days ago!) he/she actually let me walk right up to the base of the tree to get this photo. I have got some fantastic video of all the action and have spent hours looking out of the window(when I should have been chopping logs).

We also have our completion certificate! Wey hey, which means we can now claim the VAT back and never have to speak to the planning office ever again!

New look shed

Eventually managed to get the shed treated, it has either been below zero or raining since it was built.
I think the colour is lovely as it blends in with the surroundings much better than when it was that horrid orange shade.
Also managed to get the beech worktop oiled in the utility room today, the cats weren't interested when I was sanding it down, but as soon as I started to oil, they were jumping up - so I have oily paw prints on the floors now.
Ah well.....
