Well, today it was a not so cold Thursday as I was away yesterday.  However Jim and I got on with quite a bit.  Jim had varnished the interior screens and fitted both the fixed ones with the number 107 on them. Initially they went in but we found that they needed a noggin behind them to keep them stable so some old roof stick was pressed into service to accommodate the curves on the corner pillar.

Here you can see the noggin mounted on the corner pillar to stffen the screen,

Then the screen was screwed into place and the opposite door screen dry fitted.  The effect is great,

It really is coming on.  As soon as we get the doors fitted we can fit the screen then build the seat frames.

I spent the day assembling stair treads and this is the pile of them with the supporting battens fitted,

In the afternoon Stephen and I cut out the risers and made a trial fitting of one of them.  The vertical battens to hold the risers were cut and I've got 26 more of them to shape next week.  Hopefully it won't be too long before the stairs appear.
