We have windows!

But the horses are not impressed.
As you can see, no slates yet - (next week finger crossed)
Patio doors to lounge not in on this pic. but went in today .. ..

Our bedroom window went in today too but no pics. yet........

Ready for slater

Here's hoping for roof slating to be started next week:

              Garage has roof!    

Exciting
Hoping for windows soon - should only take a day to fit!!!

Latest pics plus tally ho!!

Garage trusses are up today....................

Looking more like a proper garage now (well a bit!)

Tally Ho?.................

Not really Tally Ho! This was the view from our temporary bedroom balcony (AKA scaffolding) last Saturday evening. It was part of the Hawick common ridings which takes place every year. (Google it if you're interested.) There were about 120 horses and riders. They use the field opposite what will be our house once a year during the Denholm Ride-out. Hopefully we will be on the lawn with a glass of wine watching this next year.

Upstairs Downstairs!

Roof is rainproof - and it's needed to be :(  - A week of lovely weather followed by two days of rain. Ready for slates soon :)

Upstairs.... It was exciting to be able to go upstairs (or rather, up a ladder!) last night..........

Bill kept saying 'Watch where you're walking' I think he was secretly hoping ..........

Downstairs.....
Looking towards the front from the lounge with an enticing view of the toolstore and portaloo.
We'll try to keep the lounge a bit tidier when we move in!

Dormers are in (nearly)

Our neighbour-to-be (Bill) took this. We now know how the trusses got up there!

The pictures below show the dormers, where the upstairs windows will be...................

Looks as if the house is lit up doesn't it? Sun was setting behind the field at the back.

Boring one ..................

All trussed up

the rain didnt stop the build as you can see.......

Now you see it, now you don't

Just read previous post. We said 'more over the weekend...' but didn't say which weekend!!
Never mind, better late than never.


Earlier this week: looking more like a real house (well a bit!)

Bill says I have to post this - 'A horse is a horse of course of course ......'  

I think this will be the last picture for a while where we can see the house without scaffolding :(

Boring or what????

Now...... see if you can guess what the weather's been like here for the last few days:

Nice place for a water feature? Good job there's another drain to put in yet.

The roof you can see is next door, our roof trusses should be delivered tomorrow.

It's dry today (but cold and windy) so hope water drains away ( springtime in the Borders eh? )

More scaffolding and water........................
