Ready for dispatch! Phew, job done.

We have started painting. Main frame in purple. Roof will be sky-blue. Platform and fence will be aqua-blue.

Well its just so hot and we needed some hats. And here is what I came up with using some old dresses and bits of fat quarters hanging around waiting for a purpose in life.

And of course we needed a Dino hat as well.

So, we’ve been doing some work, sifting and checking and well, it needs some work! Fabulously it is made from cedar wood which has been exposed to the elements (in the form of a climbing frame for 15 years). A few layers of planing, sanding and there is beautiful wood underneath. Some of the beams need more work than others. Some of the ones on the ground need replacing others need fixing.
