This is one of the metal 'feet' we've been waiting for. The supports for the upper porch will slot into these, and because they're galvinised and off the ground hopefully they won't rot. Not in our time anyway. Frustrating week-end because we hoped to get it all done on Sunday and then of course it was one of these horrid snowy cold days, and NOTHING got done and Mike got cross. The support posts are very huge and heavy and I feel we need a little help from our friendly farmer, but himself will have none of it. So if you hear of me felled by an 8 x 8 don't say I didn't warn you. The new room with all it's insulation, despite having bits open to the sky, is about the warmest place in the house at the moment. Bodes well.
