Getting there!

Andrew Teer finally had a clear run and finished the wall and columns. He is a real craftsman and his work is legendary...and receiving many many compliments from passers by.

Then along came the man to drill holes in his wonderful work...a necessity for the fencing...

Following closely behind were Snow Contractors - the structural steel specialists to fit the fencing:

First craning the pieces in,

then fine tuning to fit!















(and the pathway scoria was delivered during the process too - it's all happening)


Then finally the gates...

Then at last, the security fencing is taken away from the front of the house and we can see the building in all its spleandour (even if the front still looks rather like a building site)!

 We're not sure exactly how long this building had been hidden behind security fencing, but we have evidence that says at least 15 years, and others are of the opinion that it is 20 years or more!!

The postman is pleased he now has easy access to a REAL postbox, even though our post is redirected so he doesn't have too much work to do...

Now for next steps - 

House number, painting and gardening!
