Moving on.....



The few finishing-off jobs to do in the kitchen are out of our hands. We are waiting for the doors for the sink unit, the floor tiles need to be sorted - matched or replaced and a couple more pieces of granite worktop need to be cut and fitted.........so today we started on the lounge!

Watch this space!

  3. I know this has been a long, drawn-out ordeal in many ways, but at least the two of you are in on it together, so you each have the other for moral support. My husband does not understand the need for renovation (or repair, even) and does not cooperate when I try to get such things done.
    I'm getting so excited about seeing your finished kitchen — and then the lounge!

    Jon does what he can, when he can - but has to drop his tools when his business calls. We have the snug and the kitchen as a bolt hole however - hopefully we'll get the lounge done by Christmas - nowhere near as much work needed as the snug and kitchen.

    Aye - we do seem to find energy from somewhere! lol! I must admit my blogging friends who are doing similar DIY stuff do give me inspiration.

  10. I'm impressed. You make refurbishing sound like a holiday by the seaside. We might find some odd jobs for you when you have finished with this one :-)

    PS Thank you for the nice comment!

  12. What a wonderful Christmas Present for you both if it is all done in time for the Holidays.
    Cold, rain and snow outside but all bright, warm, freshly painted inside with "The Christmas Goose, Turkey or Duck in the new oven.. along with Chestnuts.
    Sounds quite perfect.

    cheers, parsnip
