Upstairs I have been working my way round the exterior walls, fixing battens, lining the walls with insulation and then a layer of plasterboard.

Sue has been tidying up the front garden. A good place to catch the late afternoon sun and the opportunity to chat to neighbours. It gives a sign to those passing that things are going to change to this house that has stood unloved for so long. Meanwhile, in the back I have been digging a test hole to see how deep the foundations for the extension should go - Building Control are coming tomorrow to look at it.
