Cladding the kitchen

This time round we decided to go all out on the cladding, & so purchased rusticated larch weatherboards from Halswell Timber. A bit more pricey, but well worth it - real easy to work with, & they look absolutely fabulous. Window flashings proved to be just as much of a headache as last time; partly due to our wonderful collection of windows, each being somewhat unique, & partly because of an incredibly obvious blunder I made ordering the flashings, the result being we ended up with twice as many sill flashings, & half as many jamb flashings as we needed. Sigh.

Into the fiddly finishing work now, so not long til we hook her up to the grid & call it usable.  Feels like its time for some gardening anyway :-)

Not much left over!

and done - too easy

Inside now - the last of our good floorboards get recycled
