Three weeks after knocking down the old porch the new garden room was substantially finished except for internal decoration and electrics.

  Having raided the bottle bins at the Place Hotel and the bottle bank over the road several times the installation was a third or so full.
  At last work started on the oak frame for the garden studio, but as with most things that Rysons have done for us it proceeded very quickly once started. The third photo opposite shows Helen trying it for size.
  From 9t to 12th September we opened as part of "Old Home Superhome" and English Heritage Open Days. Click here for more details, or go to the Ashden Awards blog entry by MIke Pepler.

  After a week the studio roof structure was in place and Rysons were working on the cedar shingle roof.
