I'd like to say that everything has been so good I simply haven't had the time to blog, but that would be a lie.

Time flies!
Goodness has it been a month since I posted? The build and life has been getting in the way and the past month has been a little stressful. Mostly due to family emergencies and such. All is okay now though and I have my fingers crossed that it stays that way. The build has been… Continue reading Time flies!
Magic!
One minute we had nothing but a concrete pad then... Well, I could describe it but I think I'll let the pictures speak. Oh, and it only took them 3 and a half days. Magic! The first panel goes up... Is that the new front door? We have rafters... Front door from the outside with… Continue reading Magic!
Why so quiet?
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
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 build is coming along
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

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
Optical illusions and designing
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
What a view…
The build has finished its demolition and moved onto the building. Until the foundations are in, it is all concentrated around the garage. "Can we cut the door and window?" the builders asked. "Sure..." we said a little tentatively as it would need a lot of stuff moving and out storage wouldn't be ready until… Continue reading What a view…
That’s a new start then…?
Did the new year start? Honestly, last year was strange and it looks like this year is going to be even stranger. As the new year came into being we toasted 2021 and went to bed. No parties and no guests. Just me, mister and 2 kids. A new year. A continuation of lockdown. Exercise… Continue reading That’s a new start then…?
