Weather is finally getting better so time to get stuff done!!!!
We were hoping to start work on repairing the wall so we can install the new sill beam but temperatures are still dipping below 40°F so we’re hoping to do that next weekend. To access the sill beam and wall I’d already removed a small part of the old deck but as it was a lovely day and we wanted to work outside so we decided to remove a lot more so we’d have more space to work. It’s not completely gone and we left the main structure and a 3′ square by the doors upstairs, just incase someone ever stepped out by mistake.
The deck and balcony obviously weren’t original and when we come to replace it we will add something that is in character with the house. The upper balcony will be triangular to match the roof line and on the ground floor you will step out the back door onto a blue stone patio which should last centuries.
Because we’re usually at the house on weekends we often get visitors and today we had Bianca, Seth, Rob, Randall and Richard, always nice to see folks.
I was beginning to wonder where you’d been and then realised you must having the colder weather like us.
Another tick in the box glad you didn’t make fool of yourself given the date.
Well it didn’t collapse when I was up there which was good 🙂 Yes it can get pretty cold here, not Canada cold but colder than the UK, -10, -15C isn’t uncommon, brrrrrrr
You can’t beat a good garden fire, though with modern housing developments it is frowned upon. Last time I needed to burn something I did it on Guy Fawks Night.
Ah smart move!!! Ponckhockie is a bit like the wild west so we do what we like, sort of!!!!!
