photos of work in progress

The old door has been removed and we have had to set up a temporary cover to keep the weather (if not the cats) out. You can see the new door frame and the blocks we have had to use to fill in the extra space. The door is still going to be wider than the average doorway...

We couldn't face blocking in the amazing stone hinge holes, especially the top one, so we left a gap. The blocks will be rendered in the next few days.

This is the doorway from the inside. I have finished rendering around the new blockwork, so it blends seamlessly with the rest of the rendering.

The kitchen is coming on. The gaps are for (from right to left) the dishwasher, sink (in place) fridge, cooker (with tiles behind) and shelves. The work surface will be finished with solid oak parquet, which we will seal with exterior grade polyurethane.
