Little log cabin

www.microlodge.co.uk

Well, almost ready to fit the roof on the shower block. The Somme mudbath at least froze over for a while allowing us to remain fairly dry.. for a change.
Also doing the new Noahs Ark caravan park website at present, so with luck, that will be on line by the weekend. No rest for the wicked.

At last the snow has gone, so we've started work again at Noahs Ark in Perth, laying out the deckings for the Hobbit and their office.
On the downside, the ground is doing a good impersonation of the Somme after a heavy barrage.

We are also turning a couple of old portacabins into a des-res shower block. Need to get finished soon and back into the workshop as my old bones are feeling the strain of the bitter cold.

Well, well, well. Heck of a week.

Gordon the photographer from the Glasgow Herald, arrived at the workshop bright and early to do the photo-shoot. I thought it would be a 20 minute affair, 'til....3 hours later....and still posing. All for the ONE shot.
Still, I'm in good company as he has has also done Sir Sean Connery and last weeks Herald feature was on Sir Ranulph Feinnes.
What next...finding out I'm really Sir Steve?

All things coming into place for SECC, with transportation organised today, and a donation of some cast iron furniture for the stand. Also the wheelchair ramps have been donated.

Orf out of the shop for a spell next week doing some deckings around the Perth Hobbit houses.

At least the snow has thawed to waist-depth at their site...

SECC time again

The Reception office at Noahs Ark



It's been a grim week weatherwise, but we did brave the conditions and managed to get a delivery out to Perthshire which included a bit of a hike through thigh deep snow.

We see that Noahs Ark have now kitted out their 'reception' microlodge in preparation for their grand opening of the site in the Spring.

We are also looking forward to a feature due to appear in the near future in the Glasgow Herald magazine.

The final preparations are now being carried out for the SECC show, who's guest of honour this year is to be Neil Oliver from the TV programme, Coast.
