Drywall here, drywall there....

… drywall everywhere! Well not quite.  I haven't visited the work site for a few days, so the photos were quite a surprise to me tonight.

Our bedroom is pretty much done....

And the storage area above the ensuite, a good use of all the bits and pieces of drywall bonus being these seams don't needs to be taped (but I bet they will be)...

The main storage/attic space....

And my office, upstairs landing....


It's moving right along.  We are enjoying some unseasonably warm October weather, it's been gawjus….
and so the plan is to go down into the crawl space and lay plastic on the ground which will act as a vapor barrier to keep the damp to a minimum, he will then have to insulate the underside of the floor.  Ugh, what a job, but someone's got to do it and it ain't gonna be me :)

In other exciting news we finally got a carport installed for our jeep.  Thing leaks like a sieve in the winter and so we usually just put a cover on it and then proceed to not use it for about 4 months of the year,  Now we can use it all through the winter and give the old truck a bit of a break.  In typical Mr. M fashion, it is all color coordinated and perfectly aligned with the barn and the newly moved container and it hasn't rained once since it was put up, obvs...


Garden is still giving back on a daily/weekly basis, we didn't get many cauliflowers, but they were delicious.  I am pulling carrots, parsnips, beetroots, spring onions and I have broccoli, leeks and brussel sprouts pending.  We finished the fall peas and they are now gone and the 2020 garlic is planted.  The chickens are still laying and I get 2 or 3 eggs a day, clocks change next week so they could start to dwindle...



I still have petunias and nasturtiums flowering...



And I'll leave you with this photo, I think my carrots are on steroids....
