Gah......

I know, I know it's been AGES since I did a blog, and seriously it isn't because things haven't been happening, it's because things that have been happening don't change that much week to week.

Firstly, ALL the gutters are on and done, and now we await rain! I don't think we've had more than a day of rain since they were installed - of course...

Then with the forthcoming winter in mind I asked for another garden shed, because a girl can never have too many sheds....





We  have now added some handles, collected from the beach but forgot the take an updated picture.

Oh and a cute little lean too for the wheelbarrows...

And after all that procrastinating, faffing around with gutters, building sheds he finally manned up and got down into the crawl space.  All the floor above had to be insulated...


Then all the heating ducts had to be completed and then wrapped in insulation and strapped to the rafters....


It's only 3 foot high down there, so the old camping chair is coming into it's own....



And then the air handler that has the blower in it (the heating system without the heat) was connected and air was blown through.  He then had to make a thing (think carboard and tape and wind speed gauge) to measure the air coming out of each vent so you can balance it to get the correct amount of heat in each room....


Next he will be connecting the heat pump and getting the heat running.  Lots of stuff is required for this project, parcels galore heading our way!

What else has been going on?  We ended up having a good year in the garden, and there are carrots, leeks and parsnips in the ground for the winter.  Garlic is planted up and the rest of the garden is pretty much put to bed.  One of my cherry tomato plants is still going great guns, and whilst we are still enjoying glorious autumnal weather it is given a reprieve from the compost pile...

Typical Summer basket....


And now we are into Autumn....



And so we continue, onwards and upwards and Thankfully the world keeps on turning......
