Stuff done in the last month.

I can't believe its been a month since I last posted, and can't believe what has happened in that time either.
Big Chris came to relieve me for a whole weekend, and before I left for Kenilworth he helped me put the window in - just a small bit of planing the top bit of wood and it fit very snuggly.
I tried moving the back window sometime ago but couldn't - I guess that it was fitted from the top before the roof was put on, I had decided to leave the window there, and if it was really cold I'd change it next year - however, when I took Dad's screwdriver rail off, half the window fell away and I was left not much.
So I ended up cutting it all out and had another big hole to fill. 

Ebay came up trumps and after a trip to St Helen's (the bit I saw was a beautiful area) and a bit of struggling, I fitted another double glazed window and finished all the insulation and plasterboarding.
The following weekend Fran helped me with some more furniture from the Worcester stores and we moved in my big table - see above, my smaller dresser:

And my settee - it was too much for Fran so she fell asleep for the next 2 hours!!
Huh!!  Mind you, while she was asleep I reinforced the roof, the length of the roof was such that the wooden struts bent quite a bit.

Its not sagging now!!

The following week I finished the grotty bits of plaster boarding - that above the windows and patio doors - very fiddly.



 The back of the dresser now doubles as a wall for the back of the workshop cupboard:

We had one day that was really grotty and it rained a bit - the sky was black and we had a double rainbow - this next photo doesn't quite capture how bright the rainbow was.
The following time I walked out the storm was blowing over - it was half way across the sky and the other half was bright blue with fluffy white clouds.

That's all for now folks!!
