*is proud of the drive*

I helped make it too....

... by providing the tea and fud to Mr Dan Dan the Building Man

Although it is fab it's taken some getting used to going on and off the drive! It's at a bit of a weird angle see... means I tend to fly off the curb as opposed to the lowered bit! Hoping it's added value and paid for itself! I think we're going to look into getting the windows replaced now (when I haz some monies coming in... which currently is taking forever!) as the house is just minus a gazillion in temperature all the time. We try not to use the heating much but I'm sure we're wasting money on it. BoO! So yay! Next project to come!

Mei - don't go round next door (unless it's Bev next door!) Toni will invite you in and you will never come out again! EVER!

She is The Witch.

My recent project which is all but completed...

The hole (cut the plasterboard to shape rather than removing both panels in their entirity), and a bit of bodging of the supports ready to accommodate the cut in bed.

Joists added and reinforced to be more load bearing, then hidden away behind carefully cut and stuck panels

.

I took to the existing single bed, cut the fabric away, removed the bottom rail so we can store stuff underneath, chopped about 2ft out from the middle section to make it a dwarf bed which when pushed up to the boxed bit makes a full size bed. I also had to raise the board up by another inch so that it was at roughly the same level as the box bit.

I have started cutting some beading which will frame the corners and shelves and minimise pain if anyone decides to headbut a corner

, but getting the 45 degree angles so it all fits neatly is time consuming! Also need to go to town with the caulk gun and polyfilla tomorrow.

Plans for the future, replace the thin "cardboard" board that was part of the existing bed with bed slats (which B&Q dont do - I think it'll have to be an ikea jobby when we get the chance to go to Bristol) to bring it even closer in height and increase support for the mattress. but it will do for the time being.

A shock call late this afternoon told us our new windows and doors are ready to be fitted! The people are coming around tomorrow to do it, but as we are moving the front door out a bit to give us an extra foot in the hallway, I had no notice in which to build the new riser (2 courses of bricks) so I had to run down to B&Q and get some bricks and spent from 6 till half 7 building a 2 course wall. Its not the best brickwork in the world by a long stretch, but hopefully it should be alright!!
New doors and windows.. YEY! Plus we also claim the back passage (fnar) as an interior hall when the new back door goes on.. Our house grows over the next two days!!!

. will post pics at a suitable future time
