Finishing off the bedroom ceiling


Yesterday I added the little vertical pieces of tongue-and-groove boarding, with a little insulation laid and taped in place by Emily.
This is complete, so we are proud to say that the wall now meets the ceiling :-)
(I just need to use a bit of wood filler to hide the nail heads that I punched down...)

Footings dry and strong


Not completely cured yet, concrete needs 28days to fully cure...

Notice the obligatory hand prints by Emily and myself :-)
