Houseblogging: let's hope the sun will shine

With no satisfactory resolution on the lock out situation, an early visit to site this week to look at progress over the last couple of weeks. Was a strange experience to see the house with people crawling all over it - literally, there was a girl hanging off the top of the roof, but I guess that's what roofers do!

Big steps forward are the rest of the doors have been put on, solar panels have been installed, electric fix now in, insulation almost complete and the fine details on the outside still being added (literally as I was there).

It's a great team of people that are building our new home and if the weather holds some more we've got a chance of getting moved around end September/beginning of October. Hmm, just to conicide with me finishing at MSD!

I braved the mud slopes to capture our regular view


Living room and library gable and turret

Hope the sun shines on these to heat our water!

The gateway to indoor and outdoor flow!

The finer points of wiring - cabling for office phones and printers.

All rugged up with our natural wool insulation. We've laid about 8 inches thick and 12 inches in the roof.

Hmm, me thinks that's not the right front door!

You can't help but marvel at the backdrop scenery
