A long long time ago in a utility room not too far away

Phew this is difficult, I have a midlife memory and plenty of blogging to catch up with. A word to the wise, make sure you write up blog posts as you do them, otherwise you might miss out all the meaty bits. Long ago (well July 2017) in a utility room not...

Utility Room and Tiling

A week off should fettle the utility room… you think I’d know better by now. I’d done my usual and considered what I’d already done was the hard stuff and the new stuff would just be a tickle of paint away. First job though was to finish off the stripping out and...

It’s been ages and ages

It’s been ages and ages since I last posted. I could tell you that I’ve just been too busy to post, I could say I had a spell of illness and was too sore to post, I could say that I’ve been too lazy to post… Well, I could say a lot...

bathroom sink

Months of cleaning my teeth in the downstairs junked up utility room sink have come to a close. I now can re-join the human race and clean my teeth in my lovely new bathroom sink in the tool and insulation bombed-out bathroom. A million years ago, or so it seems, I took...

the kitchen sink

I took two weeks off over Christmas and apart from the general sprinkling of good will I managed to get some work done, even the kitchen sink was sorted. 23rd December 2016 First day off and a storm was brewing, so not a good day to work on the bay windows. Still...

The window is looking good but it does need a clean 0

brandy by the fire

This time last year I thought I’d be sipping brandy by the fire, throwing a log on it once in a while, tucking into a mince pie and relaxing over a good book. I didn’t expect to be still working on the house, more to the point I didn’t expect to be...
