Renovation Project - we have a vestibule
Yesterday disappeared in a haze of rubbish food, bad TV and
dozing on the bed, I am so getting too old for hangovers, somehow they seem to
last for days now rather than a couple of hours in the morning, I wish I could
say I am never drinking again but I am a truthful person and I know as soon as
I forget how horrible I felt I will probably do it all over again. I wonder at
one point I will be mature enough to not actually do it again, somehow I think
this maybe many years in the future!
We now have to make up for lost time and because I still
feel a bit rough I am not in the best of moods as I feel that we have wasted
precious time, I am back to scraping the stairs, this is not what I need today,
but they need to get finished.
John is making a start on building our vestibule, this will
make such a big difference to the warmth in the house, winter is already
approaching and the memories of last year, freezing and wearing woolly hats in
the house is not holding any appeal.
We have had one wall built for some time, so it is a case of
making a frame for the door; the door is the one that had been between the
living room and the kitchen. We have loved this door from the beginning and it
was always going to be used somewhere in the house.
The frame goes up and the door is attached, not straight
away as we realise that the hinges are on the wrong side of the door, the
hinges are removed and changed over, the wood is filled with wood filler (this
means that once it is painted you will not be able to see where the old hinges
had been).
The vestibule is built, the door is attached and we can stop
for the day feeling better than when we had started, we have something to show
for our hard work.
