Doors, Closets and Bricks

The new ensuite door has been painted and installed.  It will ultimately have a blind on the inside for privacy, but for now it's letting the light through. 

The guest bedroom closet has been fitted out. It still needs a dresser but we'll find one of those soon enough. 
AO continues brickwork up the wall.
The rotten birds have been destroying the new pole beans by cutting them off at the ground level.  We put screens in place to keep them out and hopefully the carnage will stop.

AARGH - I blamed the wrong vermin....the beans continued to be chewed off and we've lost 30% of the plants.  A quick trip to Buckerfields and the purchase of some new rodent traps caught a Townsends Vole within 30 minutes...in the middle of the day.  I hope she was travelling alone but fear that voles usually occur in larger numbers so will leave the traps out for a while longer.

Beautiful, funny, and poetically alliterative!! You should totally make an iFrog product and maybe a renovation bookie!
