As the conservatory would be opening from the first floor and access for building work would be difficult a steel frame on concrete pads was installed
A sectional steel base wall was used again for speed and ease.
The hardwood frame was built in sections in Yorkshire by Webster Joinery who then delivered and erected, fully glazed in two days
The external walls were rendered and harled to match the rest of the house.
The next task was to make the steps a bit safer with a hand rail so using mostly rails that were originally around the decking area a low hand rail was constructed.
The top terrace which was used as a bit of a repository for items that had no home was the next project. The terrace was levelled and a back wall extended from behind the shed to make a 2.4m deep terrace. This will enable space for a patio next to the shed, a bed along the front of the terrace for herbs with a greenhouse at the rear
Although it was stated earlier in the blog that there would be no more steps it was clear that once the top terrace was complete then access to the semi wild area at the back of it would be very difficult so some more steps were built -
and some more until snow stopped play
