An article of faith

Whoah....
lots has been happening but when it has happened I have not had the camera or been too busy or etc. etc.
Photos to come but here is what has happened since last blog.

• Zinc roof completed and flue for stove installed.
• Stove ordered
• Shed walls built and ready for roofing
• Temporary stairs complete
• Rooflight over kitchen complete (looks good)
• First fix electrical started
• Marking out for vacuum system done

I will have photos soon, but until then you will have to trust me.
Scaffolding down but bits of scaffolding still lying all over the site.
I do however have one photo and it has a story


This is our carpenter's list and as you can see it is made of wood. Orla thought she could not possibly go to the builders providers with this and copied it out onto paper.
I am in work when I get the following text. All men here and all have wooden lists. Being a man I text back the logical response, You can write in pencil on wood in the rain. Text comes back, Ahhhhh.... Later when talking to another male friend he pointed out, again quite logically that it is very hard to lose a wooden list. Once again this comment was appreciated. The moral is that men are very good at this sort of advice but sadly deficient when it comes to other male female conversations. Picture the following hypothetical conversation
She: That shop assistant was so rude to me.
He: Don't go into that shop again
She: You are so INSENSITIVE.....

Therefore, men, unless the conversation directly concerns hardware or engines, do not offer any opinion or (as I have observed women doing ) say I know... I know...
