Going Batty

It rained hard last night; hard enough for us to find a leak dripping into the dining room this morning. The rain must have been blowing against the front of the house, and it had got in around and underneath one of the windows.





When I looked from the outside, I realised that I could stop some of the rain getting in by closing the shutters.




However, when I pulled the shutters to, I noticed a poor little bat, hibernating in the gap between the shutter and the wall.





So, we decided that we could put up with a small leak if and when the wind blows in the wrong direction, and we left the shutters open.

I spent the day making up the kitchen units. It's been 2 days but the units are now all assembled. It was a learning process as you have to marry up the sides from one box with the base and shelves from another. And each box has about 8 sheets of pictorial instructions catering for numerous permutations of designs!! We also spent time figuring out which doors went with which unit. That was relatively straight forward except, without any diagrams, it was more complicated to sort out how many and what sizes of doors to put with the fridge and the oven units.
