HAPPY MEDIUM?

I wish that happy medium would come back into fashion, on monday we still had to have a radiator on for a while in the morning to prevent frostbite with our weetabix! On Tuesday it's so hot no one can sleep and it's unbearable!!!!!! Caravan life continues to be a challenge but by no means impossible.

Well the builders left today at 2pm and we won't see them until 2 weeks time they are on hols and starting another job, the guest bed and ensuite that needs to be built out of brick, and not part of the timber frame, sometimes gets referred to as the extension????, but that is what it's going to feel like when /if it ever gets built  -watch this space!

 They have finished the gable end on the left side of the house, but the one on the right is still not complete.





Philip and Pete have finished the snug roof and the kitchen roof over the last 2 days, working in the blazing sun!, and Philip came up with a solution to the balcony roof problem, we are still waiting to here from the surveyor from the fiberglass company- so that will need chasing next week.  They have also measured the holes for the windows and the downstairs windows are on order- yipee!!!! I am off on Wednesday TO CHOOSE THE PAINT .....................

We had a load of plastics delivered this week , guttering, downpipes etc, Pete had done his old bizzar in Cairo bit to get a good price, 20 mins after it was delivered onto the drive a guy cold calling fell over it to come in and give us his card, promising to beat any quote on plastics- typical!!!

Pete has started painting and spraying the soffit boards.


We have adopted this piece for the Hall, hopefully it will lighten with a good sand and then can be modernised with a new painted top.

We have found and won on ebay a sink for the boys bathroom , it has holes for 3 taps  , anyone off to HAMPSHIRE in the next couple of weeks and can give it a ride home let me know!!!!
ps. it's 6 foot!

The inspiration for the above picture.
