My empire of dirt...

If you get two people your size, they'll never fit in those chairs wobble chops

Were 57 pages in... did you consider to extend the house without planning permission or can you just do as yer like in your country ? Cause youve done a shed load of work there..

Shame you didnt treat all that floor joists and wooden pins in waste oil/creosote mix...

Hey bro!!!! How the fuck are ya?
Na, can't do as we like here unfortunately but to be honest the house is plenty big enough for the 2 of us. Bigger house bigger costs, more cleaning more maintenance ect.
As for oil and creosote, all the timbers are treated and will last many decades ,

All Good here, Been in touch with Karl aka "Not Carl Fogarty" and Jen from Spondon... both of them want me to visit them... am still waiting for them to return the favour... I can still remember the little shoe box home you had in Southall London, luckily you had the garage and the only guy to have a bed next to all your bikes and shit...

Edit** So i can be the 1st visitor of 2027 to come over ?? am sure you'll be finished with the renovations this year...
 
My b is away in auckland and ive been putting more flooring down in the lean to area. Only temporarily, as ive mentioned before, we must rebuild that area.
I thought id knock together a mock up of the kitchen lay out as a bit of a surprise for b coz she was struggling to see my vision even though I done a drawing..
We are miles off from being able to make the kitchen proper but I really wanted to see how its all gunna work out.
I love it.
The island will be on castors so as to be movable.
The sink will be under the window ( where the hammer is). That window gets swapped out for 1 thats is a 3rd bigger, 1800 wide and the oven and hob will be on the longer run of work top, next to the coffee cup.
The patio doors will be swapped out for a set that is nearly twice as wide. Those will come to where the yellow level is..
Gunna be ace!

Of course you can but I very much doubt we will be finished by then unless we win the lottery!
 
So not alot has happened house wise in the last month, too many social engagements.
But I am refocusing and gunna make a start on refurbing the big set of doors a d last 3 sets of windows.
This morning I set up the bifolds to see if everything was there and that they work ok.
We bought them disassembled maybe 2 years back and had never assembled them.
Happy days, everything was there and they work well.
Now I have to decide if I change em so 3 doors fold to one side and 1 door canbe opened on its own. Bit of a faf but doable.
Not sure... dont think they will be too much of a pain in their current set up..
Next up is pull em apart again, strip em back, some minor repairs then paint.
