Weather proof and snug - Update # 33

2 December 2015

Tom and Gregg spent an inclement week working on the dépendance: fitting the front door, glazing the A-frame, casting a concrete door sill, and laying the wooden flooring.

Tom says there's still some making good to do, such as hiding the foam around the door, fixing the skirting boards, and cleaning the tannin stains that have leached from the oak.

"...the dependence is looking great. There are some tannin stains from the oak on the outside, they come off very easily with a bit of brick acid."

The latest photos arrived today, and it is great to see the wee place looking snug and almost ready for the excesses of winter.

Don'tcha just love the reflection of the sky?

Lovely new floor, just waiting for the oak skirting

Cute as a button

Now that's an imposing door for a wee place. The door sill still needs to dry.

Going in and out of the dépendance is going to be a breeze now - since we raised the roof, you no longer have to duck your head as you enter, and the smart door sill will make a big difference.

I must work on the stone steps next time...mais c'est quand, la prochaine fois, hein?
