Big Little Job

I honestly try not to take on too many jobs away from the homestead these days. I find I can find enough work from here to make the money I need to survive, I have accepted I'll never be rich, but I have a good life balance I think. 

I do take on work with my mate Brian though, he's fun to work with an the projects are normally unusual, which I enjoy. 

This house is no exception. We needed to rebuild the shed, that was part of the roof. and then the whole house needs cladding. The little bit of roof/shed was quite a bit of work to be honest. Especially in the heat we've been having. 
 

And we managed to make a start on the cladding of the house. this is a thin layer of insulation on the outside, a wood board. It's enough to make a difference to the heating system inside, and it should help keep the house cooler in the summer months. 

It's then clad with larch feather edge boarding. I have a feeling it's going to look much nicer than the grey concrete render it had before. 

I sometimes wonder about insulating the outside of our own home, we need to plan for the heat as much as the winter these days.
