winter

This little fellow was hibernating behind the canvas that pretended to be a curtain. I removed it to let the light in and foundYou can probably make him out here... just below the window. (Click on photo to enlarge).
When you live below road level the materials have to be shovelled or carried down... (no, definitely not shovelled by me, the sand was wet and heavy!)

The plastic panels have feet which allow air to move and they insulate from any dampness from the ground. Concrete and reinforcing came next, then it will be the tiles which I have yet to choose. The amount of moisture that finds its way in now should be minimal, and easily taken out with the dehumidifier.

Today I am grateful for a warm fire.
