outside the box

Since the extension was more or less finished in October we've slowly taken it over. Put in some furniture; some new and some old. Made it comfy, cozy, and all those estate agent favourites. It's not quite charming yet--a few more pieces of furniture making it impossible to navigate from bed to toilet before charming can be used. On the whole we're loving it.

On the one nice day since October I took some snaps of the outside. As you can see, there are a few bits to be tidied up (know any Landscape Architects?) and painted. The roof will eventually be painted black to match the existing. After a year the rather harsh environment will strip the galvanisation off the steel and paint will go on much easier. The windows will get a coat or two of colour once the rain/wind/snow/cold/wind/rain/mist/dampness/frost/rain/and/or/wind ceases to be an everyday occurrence.
