The Show Must Go On

While we have been otherwise occupied by our two new distractions, works in the house have rumbled on. 

In the roof, the tiles have been removed, and the beams strengthened where necessary with additional timber.  

The chimney has also been rebuilt (remember it used to have a small shrub growing out of it).

On the first floor, the back bedroom window has been opened up and given a new beam.

 

And the garden has been tidied up.  I assure you, this is an improvement.
