We demolish something else...

Yet again, it's been quite a week. After spending last weekend clearing out the lean-to at the side, it got demolished. On Monday.

It's the low bit on the side - ooh, and before it gets demolished, the colour of the new paint for the outside is in the middle - it's called Feldspar White. I swear that was the name of the pickle factory in Midsomer Murders... We tried to point it out to the builder on Tuesday, but by then it was a case of picking painted bricks out of the rubble...


There was a tin roof over a low wall - the general consensus was that this might once have been a piggery. It will eventually be Guy's Music Room. Or Piggery, as it will now be known...


Going, going, GONE.


Then we had a stone crusher on site to, er, crush the rubbish to make hardcore - we now have lots of piles of lovely hardcore ready to go under the house, the extensions, the new barn, the patio - ooh, will there be enough?

Then the builders made a hole in the side wall - this will go from the kitchen to the Piggery. Eventually.



From inside it definitely looks like a doorway. If a little large at this stage.


The back of the house is looking a little sad at the moment and, as one of the builders pointed out, it's shrinking by the day.  


Still, it's Christmas and there's no need to let standards drop, so we decided to put up some decorations. On the outside loo...


In the meantime, one of us made up a new game which involves bouncing round a large pile of twigs, stopping (always in the same place) and shoving our head into the twigs. We believe there is a rabbit in there. There may well have been, but if there was it was showing no sign of leaving! We think we may try again next time we visit...
