While the sanding was going on inside, Dave and I started considering the terraced area we want outside the kitchen door. The door is about 70cm above ground level, because our ancient digger driver, when levelling the ground, said we didn't want to live in a hole and wouldn't dig down far enough at the top end. Then the ring-beam pourers built a footing for a little outhouse that had been removed from the plans, so we have a small concrete square immediately outside the door, with temporary boarding over it. Now we would like to get proper decking, and a place to sit in the morning. Also, we want to put rainwater capture tanks under the deck, so it all needs planning out.

Our current scruffy kitchen door entry, and the three largest tanks we can get away with under the terrace - 3 x 500 litres, to collect rainwater from the south side of the roof.
