Aiming to improve the outside of the house (8) - - - - - - N -

Sorry about the lack of letters,this grid has 4 independent corners, got the other 3 but not this one, the only word connecting the whole thing is (Grab a bit of sleep (6) I have SNATCH, may be wrong) maybe if I can get this it will help with the others.

1st letter of this is the 2nd letter of...
A salesman's pitch (5) - - - - -

Thanks Pipesmoker. I didn't see "pointing" which is why I couldn't see wordplay.

Many thanks The Joker (George) and AB, yes pointing (stupid me our house is "pointed") and spiel does fit. Thanks will find out tomorrow.
