Two stories high

Where did October go?  I was only thinking a few days ago that September was the stone cladding month followed by October being the laying the floor joists / wood month and suddenly we have less than two weeks before it's November.  My concern was always getting the house water tight before the autumn rains but frankly at this rate winter may be cold but it might be considerably less wet than our summer.

Things we're thinking about this week like faux bookends .......

Last weekend we stayed at this house

Even better this was the entrance to our bedroom! This is the sort of entrance  I want for the monks staircase up to the study.

  • Heating - the wood burner has been installed (1st part).  I've tried to find another company approved to install both wood burners and solar thermal panels but to no avail even rang up both accredited associated websites.
  • We think the windows and doors are going to look good but frankly it's too late now!  They should be delivered in early December.
  • Tom McCurrac is arriving today to erect the wooden oak frame to hold the study up and the oriel window.
