Renovation project - toast on the fire
Today is a day spent trying to get
the house in order, we need to have as much space as possible on the first
floor to start working properly and we need to rearrange the lounge to try and
keep warm.
Another tip run completed so now
all that is left is the pile of scrap metal on the living room floor, I will
have to arrange for the scrap men to come and take this, along with the 4 old
radiators on the first floor.
John starts to plaster the walls
on the first floor, we have decided not to board them, which would be much
easier, but would make the house look like a Barrats Homes box (please replace
Barratts Homes with your own countries big new house build company) so John is
trying to plaster undulating walls to make the walls smooth but not straight,
which is what I wanted, John loves this, his main expertise in England was as a
plasterer and he prided himself on smooth, straight walls and now he is having
to deliberately not keep the walls flat, its killing him.
That evening the living room is
rearranged and the chairs are in front of the wood burner and the paraffin heater
is behind us, Oh the warmth! Just a pity by the time you have made it to the
top floor had a wash and cleaned your teeth, your blood has turned back to ice
and the happy warm feeling is already a distant memory.
But on a positive note we can make
toast on the wood burner
