Slate plaque & ridge tile installed |

Milk bottle niche - imagine the geranium in a clay pot! |
Thanks to Chris sacrificing most of his Easter weekend, huge leaps forward on building were made today. Even the weather cooperated although we commenced operations in high winds and glacial temperatures! Gradually the winds dropped and the temperature climbed a tad. Either side of the south facing door we have the milk bottle niche that Chris gave me on the right with the freshly engraved slate plaque on the left. I found some ridge tiles which Chris cut and laid above both features. Both look amazing! Since these photos were taken, the blue bricks on the top were finished. The labourer was in trouble (again) this time for unsatisfactory workmanship whilst brushing off the pointing! Despite such failings, I'm sure that Hartley Botanic will be bowled over when they see this base!

Man with a plan! |
