When I read back to the last post in March I am a little sad that not much has changed since then! I had such great plans to do lots of inside jobs during the summer months when The Orange House was closed to climbers and I would spend all my time up here! Oh how wrong was I?
We did manage to put up some shelves to display books and things over the top of the old army maps we had been given. Using more pallets and wine cases, you can't see in the photos but the wood has writing on and is all different colours! No one really likes my handmade puppets but me! lol

May saw Rich and I drive back to the UK for our annual visit, never a dull trip back anyways, but his time we took the horse box to bring back a new pony to add to the herd! So that was May with nothing done!

June came and went with a flying visit from Simon our wood guru and he was able to help a little bit and we have a nice new wooden seat for the bucket toilet.
We also managed to get some sheet metal FOC of course and we already had a shower tray from The Orange House so an outdoor shower was fashioned! Rich does like to shower in his garden, and after a bit of digging, a trench will take the water around the front of the house and will water the mound at the front to try and get plants to grow and stabilize the soil!

June also saw our wedding anniversary party and Rich birthday, so another month that we did very little! The only job we did manage to do, was to plant some lovely trees and shrubs that people bought us for our wedding anniversary gifts. The tyres around the front of the house will be covered in mud and painted to match the house!

OK, so lets get busy in July before we head on holiday to Bulgaria! What a stupid idea, way too hot to even work inside so we end up hibernating. I had said last year that I did not want to spend another summer here in Spain, but until the heat hits you again you forget just how horrible it can be.
The trip to Bulgaria was great and we did buy a small house with a large garden with a stream running through the bottom! I can see another blog starting to follow the madness over there!
We have been back a month and still very little done! We have just taken the bed out of the bedroom so that we can start to try and polish the floor and finish the painting, staining in there! Rich has also started to clad the walls in the bathroom with more pallet timber so that maybe we can get 2 rooms finished!
