We have built up to the eaves, and at this stage it reminds me of one of those old orange boxes we used to see in the 50’s. Now it’s up to Darren and Clive to do the high internal wall, the gable ends and the roof. We are glad to hand the heavy stuff over to them. We are going to start on the sanding and painting.
