Monday saw the first stairs being put up.It was exciting to see the progress being made and on Wednesday I walked them the first time - clearing the shed for the bicyles.
Friday saw the begining of the shed demolition, because the niegnbouring south wall was plastered and painted during the week - hence the shed roof no longer needed to carry the scaffolding for that particular job.

Lots of new pictures are up in the photo archive, showing off new the stairs, mezzanine recreation and the shed demolition.

This week also saw me try to create the the visuals for what the courtyard might look like with different tile-style. Below are some Nano banana samples circulated among the focus group for the courtyard tile selection.
(Please disregard that I could not explain the AI the there is no door and full size windows in the end-wall, nor that there should be stairs).

The samples are intended to help us visualize how the courtyard could look like with different tile options and to gather feedback from the focus group on their preferences and opinions.
