April already?

So the long summer came to an abrupt end and we were reminded what building is like when the weather turns to damp, as it does. Reluctantly I moved out of the comfort of my in-house workshop and focused on the outside bits, while I still could.
Joe the digger man came round and before long there were trenches going in all directions

which were swiftly filled with pipes and buried again.

In the bathroom, the shower, which I'd lined earlier, turned green. I like it. Pity it won't stay that way.
Then the hard working eave lining team reunited and finished off the jigsaw right the way around the back of the house.

Day one.
Joe the digger man also left me with a trench. The beginnings of something big.
wait for it

Wonderful stuff. The hard part is knowing how much to order.

Here's an example of too much.
So what does one do? Make pavers!

And then Michelle got involved.
Wall. The start of.
And some paving. Why not.
And finally some more sexy shots of the front of the house. It's now rendered and waterproofed, so next time you see it the plastic will be off the windows and there may even be some doors!
