It will alao improve relations with the neighbours, who i am sure are concerned as to why we haven't 'finished' our house.
Here is the new shower going into the hall bathroom, replacing the now defunct Brazilian-death-shower.

A workshop for building furniture and general tinkering. We are building it up the top of the property adjacent to the road. At 4x6m It is a size that could be used for a single car garage or converted into a two room annex. But for my purposes, it will house two workbenches, a lathe and a shavehorse. The plan is to experiment with green woodworking techniques, to see what might be applicable to the local woods.
