Front

The front entrance has been modified slightly to make the stairway wider. We have built the wall a little higher and raised the front wall too. These will all be rendered and painted the same colour, contrasting slightly to the house facia. There will be glass balustrade to complete the entrance. We also plan to have an awning and possible porch but that will have to be in stage two as the budget for this part has run dry.

The stairs are still not finished and we have a huge mound of bricks in the driveway. Why is it that tradesmaen can't come and do a job in one hit? It's a bit like pulling pints here. There is some stupid rule that you have to turn the tap off half way through then turn it on again and finish pouring? Note a hint of frustration creeping in here? :)

The front door is still on for security, but the doorway has been made larger to allow a larger, more impressive door.
