It may seem odd but this is my first house. Up to this point, I have always shared. I have shared with friends, my parents... Oh... I guess if I want to be technical I share with my husband, but it isn't the same. This is our house and we get to design it ourselves.… Continue reading My first house
Tag: The Build 2021
How is the build going?
Well, it is still going... And the space and the design is bloody wonderful. We are finally getting to decorate the old house and the inside of the build is pretty much complete. We are waiting for the doors, window, cladding and one final roof. Inside we have the garden room, the kitchen and dining… Continue reading How is the build going?
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!
We have fire!
The wonderful people at Bird's Hill have come through and we are finally warm! I kid you not, but after a month and a half of no heating and just a front room fire, I could cry. I was also worried about the old (1960s-1970s) gas fire... We have no more headaches and I feel… Continue reading We have fire!
Busy today
Although not as busy as it could have been. Unfortunately, late last night we found out that due to a run over with another job, the framers can't make it until next week. I was miffed. But today there are smiles. You see the large cherry picker and frames, with possibly a crane, would not… Continue reading Busy today
How it is all going…
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?
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 Studio
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
