Heart Hanworth House: June 2014

So if the last part of this post was about Superstar Tea Cosy - this one is all about my Tradies, who are working so hard to get the Hanworth House show on the road

Meet Carl of HH - he loves his digger

And Foreman HH who keeps the team on track

Landscaper HH Tony is a recent welcome addition to the team

This is a rare shot of Builder Boy HH (who runs a mile every time he sees a camera in his direction) He really is the boss !

When this one grows up he will be just like Builder Boy - go Jake!

Plumber HH (Wade) is very mischievous

Of course you have known Carpenter HH a long time- he has been through each and every day with me since Day 1 on site

Architect HH calls in regularly to make sure his wishes are carried out (and most of the time they are!)

Sparkies HH have been with us for months (that would be Grant and Mark)

Don't you just love this bit of lighting magic! It is one of my favourite spots

The site shed has gone, so the builders have had to move their lunch location into the new build

And occasionally they get a visitor like Miss HH pictured here on her birthday - well they are practically family after all!

Alistair and John can do just about anything

But John has recently found that being a reality TV star is quite up his alley

Their main job of late has been the new build

And the back courtyard area (loving my newly installed columns - which were made from a mould of the 1864 ones down in Wagga Wagga - they are very well travelled)

The landscaping team did a great job clearing the front yard

But it was short lived because, drum roll, the pavilion has started!

Glass has arrived to close in the courtyard verandahs

and floorboards are all being replaced

VJs are going up

How nice of the besser block company to make bricks specifically in honour of Hanworth House!

And how fab is the main kitchen

The second kitchen began one day

and was finished the next

And has anyone seen these beds? They arrive from AustraliaPost in a smallish box and, after you slit the vacuum packs, they explode to become a fabulous mattress - I can't get enough of the whole experience!
