The grill has been fully tested.

The builders have been back, battoned up the walls, and made anew doorway. Now we just need the actual door! In all the excitement we even went and bought a fridge while the doorway was on the large size.  Its a bit like this one at ao.com

When you need loads of raised beds  (not sure what that means but Tamsin tell’s me it is a “thing”)   Meanwhile – further up the garden, we find out how far a 25m extension lead will take a hedge trimmer.  Conclusion – not far enough – we need another one.  

Our 1970’s bathroom light and heater combined has finally been removed.  We also have an extractor fitted and a new Thermostatic Shower upgrading the eldery system we acquired on purchase. Also the big bright white light, makes everything look less pink.  Now we just need the boiler sorting so there is some warmth, though now…

Now we just need to organise planning “for the eldery relatives”

this weekend sees the old windows  removed – and bricked up. Do we notice any drop in light ? so far – no   Now we just need a pole for the velux and we can actually open them.

So now we have a ceiling, 2 velux windows (have to order a pole so we can open them) and insulation.  Can now stay in the kitchen without wearing gloves.  Sterling work from the builders   Next up – plinth for the LPG out the front, and brick up the windows!
