Timmy, pass me my tools.....

It's all been going on over here, upstairs is all taped, skimmed and primed! amazeballs...

Above the stairs...
Above the big window in the cathedral ceiling... 
 

My office space/upstairs landing.....

The little dormers..

That is all the walls now primed upstairs and so he is starting on the ceiling.  Our bedroom ceiling will have painted tongue and groove so we are using pine.  The wood is supposed to be seasoned and so you should purchase it in advance and let it sit for 2 to 3 weeks.  We have had it so long we can't remember if we purchased it in 2019 or 2018 - so it is definitely seasoned.

Painting planks before they get installed, 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of top coat to come...


And so things just keep moving right along.  Walls, ceilings, soon he'll be getting the walls downstairs done, staircase, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, trim and then, and then, and then, it's never ending...

It's been a strange Spring weather wise, we had a very wet May with 6.5 inches, and even June has had some wet days, but mix that in with some daily doses of sunshine and things are moving along in the garden too. 

We've got lots of pretty flowers...






Veggies are getting their grow on, runner beans...

Garlic...

Peas are full of flowers...

2nd planting of carrots (first lot got eaten) seem to be growing well....

And my redcurrants are nearly ready to be picked...


I've planted a cucumber plant in my compost pile, if this nasturtium is anything to go by the compost pile is full of goodness...
That's all for now, we'll be back soon with another update....
