Were did the time go….. and what have we been up too….
I will try do a brief recap:
We did a mad dash of painting the kitchen and bedrooms stripping out all the old carpet were we could assisted by mum and dad!
We replaced the rotten “sole” plate to the rear wall and varies rotten oak posts on the same wall assisted by Pete
We replaced all soffits and fascias and installed the best guttering money could by… dad again!
While the scaffolding was up we made good the windows and did some pointing (not with a finger) but with lime render, big up to Dad on the chimney
We got fixed up to mains gas and had a new boiler installed (after much debate to combi or not)!!
We got a lovely wood burning stove thats fab for cooking on too
We threw paint on the downstairs loo as a temporary fix (for a bit of fun) and painted/sorted out the tilly area a bit more
We planted 200 odd beech hedge trees and installed a fence to the right
We fixed the shed (part of the garage roof) by fibre glassing and making it the water tightest roof ever. Dad too!
We kitted out the shed (above) to have proper shelving a storage
We rescued and up-cyled various bit of furniture for a second lease of life
We made our first proper window blind for the house (main bedroom)
We ordered some replacement key windows to be delivered in the new year
We did an awful lot of tree pulling down and relocating soil in the garden……. and plenty more to come
