Sunday, the south side in the late afternoon sun, bare tree shadows


This is the north wall with the scaffolding poles and the underneath of the scaffolding boards on the left; and the underside of the bargeboards, at the edge of the roof at the top. The strip of stuff with hexagonal holes in it to the right is the beading which the plasterer puts up all round the wall and which gives him even depth. The plastic circles are the special gizmos for holding Heraklith on. You can see the neat edge of the ground floor window. and the underside of the first floor windowsills.

Mum and Dad - if you want to see pictures in more detail you can save as separate photos on your desktop. Put the cursor on the picture and right-click on it. Then Save To the desktop. You'll get it much bigger and easier to see!


This is the bottom of the North door. The doorsill is held up by temporary wooden shuttering. The blue stuff is the housewrap put on by the timber frame company and which is still under all the render. The black stuff is the special Visqueen which surrounds the ground floor panels and protects them from rain, and also keeps the air out of what is a vulnerable point between the ground panels and wall panels. That will all be covered up by the brick plinth between the ground and the bottom of the render. Then there are steps up to the door from the ground.

I've discovered how to get videos of a tour of the house onto the internet - via Youtube. Once they are up and running I'll put a link on this blog.

In the meantime, R is not only soldiering on with The Wall but making a wonderful curve. Admire the following!
