Looking good so far, glad you got roof finished before the rain came down. Remember to pick up your tools before the floor goes down...it may sound strange but hey I've been there before :oops:

I have had a good couple of days working on the cabin, finished staining all the outside, got the electrics in, fitted the frame and  doors and have half the floor down.
There was a technical problem with the door frame, the hole was 20mm to short so I had to get the jigsaw out to make it fit.
Now off to Leamington Spa for the day of magic tomorrow.

It's nearly all finished  :D  I had some child labour helping today.
I was impressed with Zakh as he sat there for a good 10 mins putting in eight screws to hold the floor trim down.
I just have to put the guttering up and a couple of pieces of wood on the roof edging. Lyn plans to start filling it up tomorrow  :(

Lyn and I have spent all morning re-arranging the log cabins, still lots to do but it looks like we will end up with some spare room for even more balloon stock.
Just of out to do a party, no doubt Lyn will crack the whip and have me working on the cabins when I get back tonight.

Finally got the cabin finished, well I do have to stain the georgian style top of both doors but apart from that all is finished. We have even moved everything from one cabin to the other and sorted out a new layout for all the balloon stock. Now I have to put a new fence up, no peace for the wicked.

As we have been sorting out all our stock and re-vamping the cabin layouts I went through all my old Sempertex balloons around the house and never realised how many I had all ready for the busking bags. They have all now found a new home somewhere up North especially as the days are now sponsored by Qualatex.

Carrying on from the log cabin adventure we have now started to put up a new fence today, have to dig out all the old concrete post supports so have to say I'm aching a bit, well a lot actually and we only took two out today with eight more to go. I think this may take some time to finish.

The fence has been a bit of a struggle as we have a raised flower bed and we needed to change the back section with some new oak sleepers, the old ones were 8x4 and the new ones are 9x5 so this caused a few major problems. It's coming along and we have 4 of the 10 panels up.
