And this is them on the inside.

Been a bit behind recently what with holidays, Trade Fair etc. but the lighter mornings are helping and soon lighter evenings as well.

Got piles of stones yesterday for Mike to get cracking on the end outside wall which is half finished ( and leaking!) , but a lot of the work now is on the inside; next picture will be very exciting. The wiring!!!

Velux windows in at last; quite a fankle but we're delighted with the result. They look great inside as well and what was an very dark corner will now be light and bright and full of exotic plants.

Well, here we go again. Happy New Year to you all. Woke up this morning to frozen water - panic all round as we had no water for 4 days up to Christmas. However it soon came back.

Anyway, despite the rigours of the Christmas holiday, we have managed to get our fantastic glass door in which will open onto the 'balcony'. Then got cracking on putting 2 Velux windows in to a rather shapely bit of roof which will be above the stairs. Jewson's swore blind there wasn't a kit to join two windows together so Mike measured it all out to put them in seperately. Got the first one and flashing in, opened the second box of flashing and of course found it was a joining kit! So a bit of re-working required there and the moral is OPEN ALL THE BOXES FIRST . And never rely on Jewson's word.

Lovely bit of new roof over our bedroom joining old and new leaks like a sieve!

We soldier on.
