Scaffold Down

At last the scaffold has come down and we can see what the house will look like - also Jason and Peter can get on with the bike shed, the most important bit.

We think it looks great

Meanwhile, back at No 10 we are frantically boxing up 30 years of accumulated 'stuff' trying to keep one step ahead of Derek and Clive painting the rooms we need to do before we offer it for letting. Tomorrow the man from the Removals is going to tell us how much it will cost to move things 20 yards down the road (just the big stuff - like baby grand pianos for example - we have had offers from friends and family to help with the rest).

And then the drive and patio. And then the house warming party!
