 We got some different people in to redo the patio, the back stair treads, and replace the back fence which had all but fallen down since the last update.

 We chose a porcelain tile as these would be very hardwearing, but most of all, they would be flat (a feature previously missing). The pennant stone which was lifted would be distributed elsewhere in the garden. There wasn't an awful lot there that wasn't broken or missing and replaced with concrete so it would have been expensive to restore like-for-like.
 
-Everything was going really well, until they tried taking the treads off our stairs. The stairs came with them. We didn't want a slide, so we had to get our Front Wall Friends back again to help rebuild them out of Bath stone.

 We got some outdoor furniture! This was a wedding present from Ozzy's parents, which was a garden furniture voucher but they'd forgotten to add the expiration date. We redeemed it only 11 years late...

 Most recently, we had our local ironmongerers in to install new railings at the front, and restabilise the back stair railing. We've just painted these so they'll be rust-free for a while. In the spring, we'll get some more plants for the bed in front of them.

 ## Basement
 
 The basement continues to be pretty uninspiring compared to the rest of the house. We are mainly using it for storage, though now we've moved the sofa bed down there it comes in very handy to sleep in when there's a heatwave!
 
 Ozzy's second love in life is big plastic storage boxes, and we've reworked a lot of our shelves to accommodate these. They aren't the prettiest, but it's useful to have contained areas for storing stuff, and it's easier to see what's in them than in cardboard boxes.

 We've also done a couple of jobs in the bathroom - replacing the old loud extractor fan with a quieter one, replacing the light with one that wasn't falling out of the ceiling, and repainting and covering the louvre doors to help a little with privacy.

 We still haven't fully installed the worktop, but we did install the tap. This removes the motivation to finish the worktop as we can now fully use the sink.

 Whilst it is great for maximising storage, it also makes it difficult to get the washing machine and tumble dryer out to access the tap behind, especially when it's on a wonky tiling job.
