How it is all going…

April 12, 2021 KateLeave a comment

It has been busy and not busy. The dormers are complete and the second fix for the studio is going in today but the fella and I have been a little out of sorts. Headaches and pains and not feeling right. I thought it was the cold but then I started to wander if it… Continue reading How it is all going…

Why so quiet?

Why so quiet?

March 31, 2021 KateLeave a comment

Not sure. I had every intention of writing a post last week. Every intention of writing one Monday and Tuesday but I have been tired from being super busy. You see the build has come on leaps and bounds. If anything we are now on a quiet time as we are waiting for the wooden… Continue reading Why so quiet?

Through the round window

March 18, 2021 Kate3 Comments

It arrived! The round window is here and it is lovely... I think once it is in, it is going to make the space. I can't wait for the hand over of the studio. That looks like next week as we are waiting for the picture window. But it is looking so good already. That… Continue reading Through the round window

The Studio

March 12, 2021 KateLeave a comment

I got to stop referring to it as a garage. The conversion is almost done. We are waiting on the windows and doors but the hand over of this phase should be at the end of next week. Then we have a three week wait for the wood frame (couldn't be avoided) and boom, the… Continue reading The Studio

Plaster and plastic

Plaster and plastic

March 9, 2021 Kate2 Comments

There is meant to be a storm coming in tomorrow. It is going to be a big one and we have weather warnings. Currently we have the two dormers stripped and the garage plastered but not 100% watertight as the doors and windows aren't in. Scaffolding on the outside of the house... In fact, this… Continue reading Plaster and plastic

The build is coming along

March 5, 2021 KateLeave a comment

The garage, I must stop calling it that... The studio is now boarded out and has the electric wiring for the plugs and piping for the radiator. It is all looking pretty good. The door will eventually open into the kitchen. Plastering in there starts tomorrow and then we are going to start sorting out… Continue reading The build is coming along

Walls

Walls

March 3, 2021 Kate4 Comments

We are just getting the first walls appearing on site. Covid, I was hoping it wouldn't impact us too much, looks like it will be making the build a little difficult as there is a wait on the wooden framing. But it isn't too long and there is plenty to do around the site so… Continue reading Walls

Mud is gone, hello concrete

February 27, 2021 Kate3 Comments

So, the build has been progressing, but an awful lot has looked the same except for a bit of piping. But the real infrastructure has been going in. Now we have our floor level and all the drainage in. It is all pretty amazing. Next week the walls start to go in. I can't wait!… Continue reading Mud is gone, hello concrete

Optical illusions and designing

February 24, 2021 KateLeave a comment

Well - we have the block foundations in and the insulation has just arrived. Things are moving as fast as ever and we are realising how big the extension is. It is a strange thing, to go from a plan to a physical thing. We are a mess but the foundations are going in. So,… Continue reading Optical illusions and designing

Blocks

Blocks

February 22, 2021 KateLeave a comment

Not mental blocks or writing blocks but real blocks. They have arrived so the foundations are going in... So exciting! Can't believe that the pile of blocks will become our extension...
