MEGAYARD: Day 22
Cats and dogs today, water everywhere.
Ooh! What are these. Made me realise i've still not got any firm plans for how the back storage bit will be made, i'll have to get the pens and paper out with Paul over the weekend.
Ta-dah! The roof is on, nearly there!

MEGAYARD: Day 21
I think they got rained off today, not much action, a bit more woodstain went on by the looks of it, the corrugated perspex and gutter / drainpipe have arrived too. And that's not all that's turned up...

MEGAYARD: Day 20
Put my foot in it a bit this morning, i'd assumed that the two planks screwed together against next door's wall was just some temporary measure and I asked where the 'real' upright was going to go. Turns out that actually was the 'real' upright, but I thought a matching solid wood beam would look better positioned where the original stone upright went. Paul reckons there's a manhole underneath that concrete so when I got back from work it was nice to see they'd picked up another nice piece of wood and filled in the original floor with concrete again.
Cross beams on and half a can of woodstain too.
Foundations for the back storage unit thingybob.
There was half a tin of woodstain when I got home from work so I thought i'd show willing and get the top painted before the perspex sheets go on.

MEGAYARD: Day 19
That's the supporting wall finished off then. Upright pillar's still looking very eye-catching.
I can see that working as an ideal launching ramp for Hotwheels.

MEGAYARD: Day 18
Wooh, looking totally roofy now. And what's that over there...
Steps are in!
Up we come...
Nice job on the top step, not sure what i'm going to do behind the back of the roof yet through, maybe a few more of these flags.
Loooking good!

MEGAYARD: Day 17
Whoo, what a sight! Feels like we're nearly there now. Not sure where the other post is going to go. Had a bit of a re-think about the original design where the 3 wheelie bins would go along the left hand wall, as the wall has moved inwards and the steps are wider than I had planned, i'm really worried that if we put the bins in, it's going to feel a bit cramped inside. I've not really thought through a plan B though, maybe they can go back where they've always been down the alley against the houses but i'm a bit disappointed. I'm not sure how we're going to sort out a gate to keep Kodie in either... Maybe it'll be a bit easier to figure out when we have all the building stuff out of the way and I can have a play around.
Coming together!
Looks really big from up here, Kodie's gonna go mad when it's finished and he can play outside.
The stones from dismantling the original wall seem to have lasted out well, just a few left. Going to see if I can use them to terrace the garden a bit when we've got the yard finished.
Think my lovely lupins might not have survived having several tons of stone on top of them, but wonder whether my precious grown-from-a-seed spruce tree is okay.
Phew.
