First on the list was the tree root! Initially before the tree stump was removed we thought it would make a good random focal point in the garden. However once out of the ground we saw the root ball was mostly a conglomerate of small roots and clay.
The rather large trunk would however be useful for the fire, it was just a matter of how we could cut it. Without a chainsaw it was down to the good ole timber saw and elbow grease. Andy and I had a great time tackling this challenge and it was very rewarding when we finally made it through!
Next task was painting the weatherboard cladding. Beginning with patching followed by 2 coats of paint. Lovely to see the contrast between the timber window frames and the paint.
Of course while we were completing these projects, the girls were engaged in their own fun making butterfly prints also involving paint!
And from the outside here is a sneak peek at the floor!!
