We have had builders here for the last three weeks (it seems longer). We are finally replacing the wooden lean-to ("sun room" as it was described in the estate agent's particulars) that has been here for around 35 years.
It's being replaced with a much larger conservatory that we will use as our new home office. Here's a pictorial record of the work so far:
|
| The lean-to as it was (you could never call it a conservatory!) |
 |
| It leaked like a sieve and even had a few plants growing through the walls |
 |
| Demolished! |
 |
| Stonehenge? |
 |
| The walls go up |
 |
| Poor old J emerges from the foundations of the house, covered in dust, after sorting out some cables |
 |
| Taking shape! |
 |
| Structure now finished! |
 |
| Plastering is underway |
We're nearly seeing light at the end of the tunnel. A load of rubbish in the garden was removed today; the plasterers are hard at work and will complete the floor by Monday. Hopefully the tiles we are buying tomorrow will be laid early next week so that I can resume washing machine operations. We then need to paint the walls and wood, buy a new desk and cabinet to house the printer (in white) and complete the lighting. Then we are finally finished, and I will be able to relocate my craft den to what was formerly the office, upstairs.
