After putting it off for way too long, we now have a new front door (-ish).
It needs some work, but it’s already miles better than its plastic predecessor.
Apparently, the door shall be green.
Its neighbour too, most likely.

Render
After hacking plaster off and digging out the debris inside the shed, much of this afternoon was spent rendering.
While there’s a lot more to do, I’m happy with the result.
I’d set myself a target of the end of summer to finish the shed, so it’s going to be touch and go.
A day to recover
After a festival, particularly as I’ve gotten older, I try to build-in a recovery day. That’s today.
So I’ve spent a large part of today working on the shed, finally finishing rebuilding the second wall.
Somehow, I’ve quite bit of stone left over.
Sundays
Sundays are now officially shed days. Well, in our house.
I’d hoped to finish the wall, but it’s just too hot. Saying that, there’s not a lot more to do before I can start rendering.
Another sunny afternoon …
… in the shed. But it finally feels I’m getting somewhere.
Man cave-ing
I’d booked a half day today, a mate was going to bring town this afternoon. But his plans changed due to an unreliable babysitter.
And so, I took the half day and spent the afternoon in the shed. Getting there.
Back to reality
Today, after we did some shopping, I worked in the shed.
I’ve finally started rebuilding the second inner wall. I know, it doesn’t look as though I’ve done a lot.
But I’ve also ran a cable from the house into the shed.
Shed update
Again, things don’t look very different, but much progress has been made.
Busy the next couple of weekends, so no further change will happen for a little bit.
An afternoon in the shed
After my longed for day off tomorrow was reduced to a half day, before being completely overtaken by the stuff I get paid to do, I took the opportunity to take this afternoon off.
After four hours working on the shed, though, I swear it doesn’t look any different.
However, at least I’ve now reduced the risk of imminent collapse.
A morning in the shed
After last weekend’s pretence that the shed no longer existed, I’ve spent most of this morning working on the second wall. Most of the lower, inner wall is now in the garden.
And, in common with my experience of the first wall, last year, I’ve exposed a neighbour’s garden.
Time for some gardening before we take my mother to lunch.
