Wow David! You've been going at quite a furious pace with this phase of the build!  😮 In the month I've been away from the boards you managed to get the whole house almost completely wired and lit.

Most impressive!

I really enjoy the interior shots you've taken with Harold surveying your handywork. They make me smile.

Yes David, the daily progress has been most satisfying. This stage of the build has presented me with some challenges, and I would say that the roof structure along with the ceiling panel resulted in lengthy periods of steady adjustment . . . Basically, hacking away at the foam board until things fitted together.

Generally, the wiring for these lights is doing the job, even though it is not pretty . . . Harold is keeping an eye on things throughout the build, and you will see him checking around different areas of the bungalow.

After I had glued the remaining three chairs in position around the kitchen table, the ceiling panel was placed on top of the lower rooms assembly, and I tested all of the lighting . . . All eight lamps are working, even after lots of movement over the past few days.

I placed a sheet of green felt material at the side of the bungalow, and also at the front of the bungalow, to give me some idea how grassy areas would appear in photos . . . The greenhouse seems to be in the right place at the rear corner and the dustbin (trash can) is close by. Harold's daughter is pushing the pram in some of these photos, and the Ford Popular motor car is parked in front of the garage . . .

Such delightful photos. I'm glad to know that everything seems to be working out so well with the lighting installation.

Thank you David G. . . . The standard of photography will improve at a later stage, so these recent shots are simply test photos really . . .

Dare I ask, how is the Golden Hind build going for you ?

Slow at the moment. I'm working out a way to rig the ratlines. By "working" I mean that I'm thinking about how to do it on the rare occasion when my mind isn't focused on something else.

I'll come up with something. Thank you for asking.
