Unfortunately the prime location (just outside the back door) was occupied by a large pile of rock. The remnants of a half built extension on the back of the main house, that I took down a few years ago. The extension was part original (rock and rubble), and part breeze block (it was a right mess), so the breeze blocks have been utilised around the garden...mainly as the base for the workshop. However the rock from the original extension walls was thrown into a corner of the yard, and has remained there ever since.
But now that we have the nice back window, and needing a place for a logstore...it was time for the rock pile to move.
That took a few weekends, thankfully I didn't have to shift them very far, but it was still a big job.
When that was done, layed out a concrete slab, then made a logstore frame.
This weekend we took delivery of a load of logs from Welsh Logs who provide excellent quality wood.
Meanwhile Jan has been painting and sealing the floorboards on the first floor.
The landing is a lovely square area, so Jan's creative side found an outlet.....
Very nice, will you always buy your firewood? We have some trees so we buy some from a tree surgeon and some from our own wood.
ReplyDeletewe will for now, but we have a stand of Ash trees at the bottom of the orchard, so if/when they get diseased, then they will have to come down...there's about a dozen, so they will last me for years :)
ReplyDeleteAlso there a few unproductive apple trees that need to be replaced...they will probably come out this summer ...I believe apple burns well, and smells lovely too !!
