More time required

It seems that no matter how much time I have at home doing things, I always need another month!  I suppose it's better that way than to be bored.  Anyway, I've certainly achieved my objectives for the month, and am very happy indeed with the progress.

Here's a picture of the Trainbarn exterior, though the only difference is that now we have a chimney!

While there is definitely more to do in the entry area, I am really happy with how it looks now!  I've even put a couple of items up on the walls, perhaps a bit prematurely, but that's something I really like to do!

Long-term readers of this blog may recall that I wrote a post quite some time ago entitled 'The First Piece', regarding the mill-work given to me by our builders, left over from another job.  Well here it is, fully installed and painted, and I think it is a really significant feature of the interior!  I'm not sure that I would've thought of doing this if I'd had to buy the mill-work, but I think it looks stunning!!

And here's the fully-installed pot-belly, and the entrance to my office/ workshop.  The beam supporting the ceiling will be clad with timber panelling too, and then used to display my collection of US railroad porcelain signs.

It's the most beautiful weather here at the moment and the grass is growing quickly, so some time spent on the John Deere is now required!  It's been a fantastic month though!!  Just too short.........
