Almost forgotten

And here you were thinking I'd forgotten about the blog.  Well, in my last post I said things had been quiet and now that the frames have arrived, things should pick up.  That was an understatement.  Things certainly picked up.  So much so that I've been too busy/tired to update things here. So I will hope to bring things up to date in one summary of the goings on over the last month!  As a bit off a preview, here is a before and after for the last month...

Before:

The extension just before the frames went up. The slab at Luke's feet is where the fireplace is going to end up.

During:

The frame is up and the boys are putting the reclaimed weatherboards back on the extension. All nicely sanded by Eb (the apprentice) and I.

After(ish):

Wall is up, sub deck is down, the new roof is on, and the scaffolding is gone.
