First things first the builders have left, big yay! The site is pretty clear of rubbish and building detritus, it's certainly less of an obstacle course to get to the cabin now.
Most importantly I have had my new back door hung and I love it, look at the tear drop escutcheon, it's got such lovely lines. It feels like we're getting on now, big thanks to Kev the carpenter!!
Yesterday I spent some time oiling the frame, I just need to glue some plugs into the holes where the weather bar's attached.
This week we've both spent a bit of time moving the remaining stone from around the garden into one place on the patio area (loose term!). It's been hot work so we've done a bit at a time with the wheelbarrow, it should make a good start towards building the original wall of the house back up when we get around to taking the front extension down in a few years.
Today I drove my mum to Birmingham to pick up a rescue dog she's adopting, traffic was awful, it was a 4 hour round trip, but she's happy and I hope to not have to go into Birmingham for at least 12 months.
Lastly James closed the second doorway up and I'm so proud of what a good job he's done, the house should be super toasty for winter now it's all zipped up tight.
Wee man helped all day and you can see his finished project in the bottom right of the last picture, it's a model city!
