 A lot has changed on the outside of our house. We got some masonry people in to redo our front wall, which was falling down. They took the unoriginal bits off, stabilised the lower course, then added a few courses of Bath stone.

 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.
 
+<Solocard title="They brought in some fun little diggers and a motorised wheelbarrow" src={s("patio-progress")} />

 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.

 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.
 
 
+## Lounge
+
+We moved the mirror to the other side of the room, and painted the walls and bookshelves a bit. We also replaced the radiators as the old ones stopped working. We don't have a huge number of 'before' photos because we forgot.

+
+We got a footstool which has a bed in it - we had a bit of a mixup with the delivery where we received a completely different colour in a mislabeled box.

+It's really cosy now.

+## Master Bathroom
+
+Nikki nearly installed a shelf.

+
+## Basement
+
+The basement continues to be pretty uninspiring compared to the rest of the house. We are mainly using it for storage (though 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.

+Which means we can now return to the .....

+
+WHAT'S THAT?? We've unpacked every box!! This means we've now officially moved in. Well done us.
+
+Or rather, we've just transferred things from cardboard boxes into plastic 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.
