I haven't updated recently about our new project! I haven't updated recently about our new project! Which is taking so much longer to finish than we thought.

Over the last 2 weeks I have been working on sanding it down to make if child friendly, and over the weekend I managed to oil the firstt coat of the fencing, I wanted to make the top section safe for us to be able to play out there during the winter. 

I also changed a few of the ugly bits that were on the gate for more attractive looking ones. And removed the gate catch to a cabin lock on the other side of the gate, as we went out there on Friday and realised it was perfect head hight for the children, its beginning to look amazing! Got a few more things to sort out ready for this autumn/winter so the ramp area will wait till next year to be sorted. As its getting to cold outside to sand and oil it.
