Rik has been very busy since Dad left a week ago, he's finally got the time to make a start on converting the old smoke room that ajoins the kitchen and make it into a spare bedroom, there's a lot to be done but he's been beavering away and has the beams in, to block and beam the floor, its a tough job on your own and he wont let me help, those concrete beams weigh a lot and he has to drag each one manually across the garden and lift them into position above his head..... it took a whole day but its done.
It will be a stunning room, with a lovely balcony overlooking the back garden and getting the early morning sun.
Progress report on this later....
