In hot water ( well almost )

September saw the wood stove finally come out of storage and make the journey up to the house. This thing is seriously heavy, and it took four burly blokes to get it into position.

Right there.

And yes the floor is finished at last! A mammoth job. All the reds and browns will be much stronger once it's sealed.

Looking in the other direction......

Next job was to add a steel beam to take the weight of the solar water heater. Yes I should have put that in before I put the roof on but where's the fun in that?

Oh and then came the front doors. Probably won't stay white.

Solar hot water frame. In the lounge. Just like Meccano and soon to be pulled apart and re-assembled on the roof.

and just for a change, some steps to replace the slippery slope we've been putting up with for years. Ah the progress.

And comes the time when a plumber needs to come and to the clever stuff.

there are a few teething problems but we're almost there.

Here's another view of the steps and of the beginning of the rabbit proof fence. This will eventually go around all the garden areas; it's the only way we're going to get anything established. So far, it works.

And finally a sneak preview of the nearly completed bathroom. Sink by me, tiles by Michelle, soap by Murray and Tarn.
