PROGRESS

There seems to have been a lot going on in our lives lately but in any spare time Doug has been working on the veranda.  He decided to concentrate on the outside first (while this wonderful weather lasts).  While he has been doing this I have been working on giving the garden an autumn tidy up.

It it is very time consuming doing all the finishing work.  Today he has painted the outside walls and re-affixed the down pipe.  He will then clear out under the deck and enclose that before moving to the inside. 

We have something on for the next four days but he may be able to get some work done in between.

The new cat "door" and her special bowl made and given to us by my stepdaughter's partner.

VERANDAH

When Doug bought this house he always intended to make the verandah into part of the lounge.  I don't know why the lounge wasn't just made larger when the house was built as the verandah is really a waste of space.  Anyway, we have just purchased the timber and other items needed for the build and Doug has started work (and is, in fact working on it as I type). 

This is the only "before" photo I can find.  The verandah is on the right hand side.

These are the photos of the work in progress.  Under the red plastic is the new flooring.

The little "ladder" in the following photo is for Kim the cat.  She will have a new cat door when the job is finished.

 Kim's run is alongside the house.

The sliding doors will go giving access to the new room.

Let's hope the storm due tomorrow is not too severe.
