MEANWHILE

Despite it being the day of the Chat n Snap and needing all the help I can get from the family , I was very good and said to Paul that if he helped me set up and get things going he could come back to the house and carry on with the work we are doing.  I know I know I'm just too generous!

No truly I knew he wanted to get on with the work and as much as he does like to have a chat to everyone I gave him the get out of CnS card, so after taking everything to the hall and helping put out the tables, once everyone who needed a lift from the station had been collected and dropped at hall , he came back to the house and fitted the new door frame.

So when I arrived back home after the event I found this, the frame and side panel fitted !

The view from inside, Milo checking this strange new entryway out! and the plie of bricks and rubbish from the refit.

Paul did come back and spend some time at the CnS in the afternoon as he was getting really cold working outside

So then on Sunday Paul carried on and fitted the door.

From inside.

From outside.

Now it just needs the second of the two locks fitted, one's already in place, then a letter box and some glass , until Paul can make the stained glass, and then we can remove the old front door and get the plasterer back.

So we are still moving forward and I'm so looking forward to making this the front door and getting rid of the old double glazed one.


Unfortunately we have a busy weekend coming up , so no work will get done on this but hopefully by the middle of November we can have the plasterer back and the outside will be rendered before the winter sets in. Plus once the plasterers done his bit the rest is up to us.

Yes that is the royal us!!
