Summer gave us a really warm goodbye last weekend and I was determined to make the most of the fine weather by finishing the teahouse. On went the sliding door that Kim had specified and up went the edging boards. There are still a couple of internal tasks to do, but that’ll give me something to do while I ponder the next project.
There was just about enough time on Sunday to transfer my gardening junk from the garage to the teahouse and then tidy the garage ready to take my car back in time for autumn. Kim’s car even got henry’d and washed, but the strength in my arms gave out before I had a chance to do mine!
I would like to thank all the folk who gave help and advice, but especially Andrew from Transformations who helped me make sense of my own design and understand what woodworking joints to use, Cliff who suggested less expensive solutions for my various crazy ideas, Nathan & his team from Upstairs Downstairs who kindly treated me as if I knew what I was doing and Kim for her invaluable design inputs. And endless cups of tea!
