Simon is really pressing ahead with the second fix joinery with architraves and skirting boards appearing everywhere. The down side is that this results in an awful lot of outstanding decorating.
We did discover the error of leaving windows open while Swallows are revisiting their old haunts and consequently leave messages on our newly painted walls. The previously aquired insect screens will have to be brought into use (thanks, Alison).
The glass balustrade has arrived and brought into the house by an unusual route. It is now installed and we are really pleased with the light, airy protection to the stairwell. We are, finally, protected from falling down the opening from inattention.
Similarly, Andrew has installed the Juliet Balcony (how romantic!) to the hay loft door/window. This was a challenge requiring ten fixings into the granite. Amazingly he only burnt out one drill bit and the balcony has not fallen down yet.Our poor electrician has suffered a serious injury and is, currently, unable to finish the last few jobs. He has provided us with the screws necessary to fix back the last plates so, once we have done this, it will be safe for a visit from Jackson.
We have enjoyed all sorts of wild life visitation including woodpeckers, herons, deer, squirrels (greys - hmmm), yellowhammers et al but today's visitors were unexpected. Now restored to their rightful owners.
