Crail Cottage

Finished painting the door surround - Sunday 18 Jan 26

Rod delivers the goods

Finally, the first bits of the tiny unit (for Nigel) have arrived. Rob brought them in today.

The red corner on the ground off to the left is where the front right corner of the unit is planned. I went out this morning to paint/indicate where I wanted the unit to be, so as to allow for a little courtyard at the back and paths all around. The white line is the limit of where the deck and lattice are to extend. That's as close as I want them to the main house. The long steel beams at top are the skids under the frame, yet to be positioned. Rod had to cut them to size.

Some supporting steel rods...

The composite bits for the shower, and a window.

More painting - getting along!

My intention is to paint all the front visible areas of cream lattice, so that it looks all white from the road. The internal sections can wait till later, when I have more time. I also want to paint around the front security door that Frank put in. It's a bit of a slog, but it goes on quite quickly.

Painting, painting, painting

All the lattice. The cream stuff to white.

Finished the back side fence extension on Jan 2

Finished the rafters at the back

Looks good. Very shady. I'm hoping that by the time I paint the fence, it will looks green, tunnelly and refreshing at the same time, even in winter.
