more house fixy photos



I downloaded the photos from my iPhone and thought I might as well post the set of house photos.  God, I'm so glad that work is almost done. We just have to replace the window (which has been already made up and is sitting in our kitchen as I type!).

On the importance of blocking

But thankfully when I was thinking of how to finish it I found a colour very similar to my first and used that. So happy with it!
