Terrace photo
Hi, Just thought I would include this photo , so you can see what I am on about with the terrace. I took the shot a few minutes back ( 9.20pm ) so its a bit on the dark side. You can see the contrast between the side wall and the terrace !! I have just given it one watered down coat , but it already looks miles better. The side wall faces south , the terrace east. The south wall has been battered with high winds and hit by the sun. We live up a hill. The large window in the terrace is new. I had it made , as the original. Its made of oak , as pine here is not up to the job. The cappings you see by the arches are ' blue stone ' I removed horrible brick turrets that sat on the corners of the terrace roof. They were a 50 's addition. I have finished of the flat roof with lengths of timber , which I will paint the same colour ( magnolia ) You can just make out little marks on the front wall of the terrace , they are the original metal clasps for training ivy and such like. Sorry the photos big , but it shows it better. Bye Kevin
