The most important news is that the people from council has been here on Friday, and they are happy with the work we have done. That implies we will be getting our grant in due time. Thank you Lord for all your mercies!.

Remember our camera failed, and we had to replace it. Some people could not wait for the latest pictures, so they had a sneak preview.

Both pictures were taken from the inside, the first one before all the glass was fitted. The white thing to the right is a light switch. The second picture gives an indication of the amount of light we are getting. Lovely.

The doors are double folding, and works very well. On the left hand from the inside, they fold flat against the wall, thanks to the parliament hinges we have used. On the other side it folds nicely against the opposing wall

Please!!!, don't think the job is done now, there is still a lot of work to be done. Last night we had a rainstorm with wind, and it is amazing the amount of wind that came in between the post on the right of the top picture and the wall. It will certainly need sealing. We also have to fit architraves on the inside and out. Did I mention that the glass was bedded in but not finished from the outside. The Gib stopping also awaits me.

On Friday afternoon we went to Hamilton to look for curtains. We will need them to cover 3.5 m wide and 2.6 m  tall. Quite a hefty bill!! It has to be made on order and the making fee is twice that of the material.
