Houston, We have a Pantry and a back Porch

Spend morning clearing rubbish and dust out of attic/ceiling. I filled 6-7 calf feed bags with wood, sawdust and the ceiling dirt of the last 100 years.
The work guys continued to Gib the kitchen and Pete found his chainsaw again and cut out the outside wall hole for the kitchen window. Nice view down the valley.

Jamie (the Joiner) came back with the Pantry (a Malteca box) that they slotted into the old fireplace space and framed in the front of, and hung the old back hall door on - very very nice.

Helped Bob frame up the porch area (nail gun again) and cutting(easy) and fitting chipboard floor (very very difficult) - we shaved the end of the board three times and pounded it with big hammers to get it to fit into the gap by the old lintel. Eventually worked out that some old framing was oversize and pushing our size calculations off).

Pete brought by and old back door and frame withside window he had and our karma reversed - it fitted right into the porch gap without any problems. Tack it into place and call it a day.

Shonagh had been talking to the Solar heating supplier in Wellington and got reccomendations for a simpler/cheaper setup for Taranaki conditions which we decided to go with.
