    You are amazing doing all this. I love doing diy but my bodily aches and pains won’t allow me too much… I’m jealous of what you achieve and very proud of you. Wish it was was me!!!! It’s looking good ! Hope Ted gets better soon. And hi from Barbados.

    LOL.. Nice collection of outtakes... Too bad there isn't more room in that circular stairway to include a Fire Man's Pole for sliding down on instead of stairs for a little variety and fun... WEEEE! all the way down... but something on floor for soft landings. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Now and for all the years to come.

    A whale with its pilot fish... instead of driftwood? Sealife abstract whale or perhaps... Dr. Who's, whale from outer space on Christmas special from years ago... abstract interpretation. But then abstract work is open to the interpretation of the viewer and the feelings/memories it inspires.. Well done. So adventurous and fun. Also love the tool organization, re using plumbing pipes to hang power tools with over workbench. So handy and tidy.

    Thank You WooWoo Toilet for providing for your comfort until your drainage system can be built. Much handier than running over to Tea Room facilities in middle of night. Now who's job will it be to empty the 'night soil" and urine? and where to empty them? Been there and done that at our rustic lakefront camp... LOL. It is good to have facilities for the colder months in your Piggeries' Digs... now for a source of heat. No fireplace in site yet or even signs of a wood burner. Will it be electric heater then or something outside of the box. Oh, that WooWoo might be nice to use in the Follies in the future, should you decide to convert them into Off Grid Jeets for guests that want that Green Experience with perhaps, solar powered electrics.

    Seriously, well done on using that tape in the corners/edges of the plasterboard. You're probably the first I've seen do this in these renovation videos, and it's so important to block draughts/heat escaping. It's a tough task in old buildings but every bit helps.

    Leesa, excellent lime mortar work. You are the expert now. Great to see you getting a tight seal on the windows. Did you treat the window trim with 'worm wood treatments'? I hope so. We want that beautiful wood work to last and last and last for your lifetime of residence there. Keep up the wonderful, inspiring work.

    Sympathies on this set back. Good to see your spirits were up for the challenge and you are doing a fine job of dusting off and getting on with it. I hope that tarpaline stays put in all that wind and rain for , what, next two months, or until you get a long enough dry spell to sort out the problem. Steve was such a welcome helper in this situation. You have such a supportive neighborhood there. With your effort and attitude to get on with it and such great people on your doorstep to give a hand when asked, you will surely conquer this new challenge. Keep up the great work and determination. We all admire you for it.
