This is the northern wall of the kitchen/dining area. Looks a forlorn sight on a very cold windy morning, a wood heater waiting patiently for the plumber to come along and install it. After numerous phone calls waiting for a quote to arrive, I suggested to the dear man about the house, how about he make another phone call. He dutifully did and hey presto, NO QUOTE , BUT WE'LL BE OUT TOMORROW TO INSTALL IT!!!!!!

Another cold windy morning, the boys turned up ready to climb the roof and drill and saw and install a chimney etc. 5 hours later and the wood was burning. Lucky we've got quite a few spare ironbark trees. Now just the windows to replace and maybe I might have the wind cut in half.
