It was chucking it down when I woke up but I still thought I would try and light a small fire.  Someone must be smiling down on me because it actually lit.  So i started chopping up the stuff that was cut down yesterday and because it was wet it was smoking like mad.  My neighbour had her conservatory cleaner people turn up so I thought it would be a good idea to stop the fire (I don't want to be blamed for ash flying over it) so filled up my green recycle bin and now its raining - feet up for me now

Can't believe I forgot my password to update this blog and it has just popped into my head now!

Here we go for a little update on how things are going.

The kitchen and lounge area are done and just waiting for the roof to go on.

The small bedroom by the lounge is very nearly done with windows in, completely framed.  All I need to do there is pop in the floor joists and put some exterior ply on one wall.


Next to the external doors I have added some small fixed windows (about 150mm wide) for some extra natural light.

The main window in the master bedroom is in and that wall has been framed and ready to for the ply.  I have the other window for that room but I haven't put it in just yet.

I still need to put in the ceiling joists for the master bedroom/bathroom areas and then all that is done (not to myself - I need to get more joist hangers!)

I have been trying to get the area cleared ready for the septic tank to be installed That might sound quite easy but this time a few days ago there was just a small path and I have had to clear it for a JCB to fit through.  Whilst clearing the brambles, cutting the hedges back, etc I discovered four trees I didn't even know were there (thats how bad it was).  Just need to build a massive bonfire now to get rid of it all.

I think that’s about it for now.

Did I mention the massive wasps nest....
