Both Marigold and I have builders in the house, well they are still in my house, think she has got rid of hers already…
I kid you not my whole house is upside down and this is all centred around a shower room…in fact it was a shower room but we decided to updated it … how can this tiny space cause so much upheaval… tis beyond me.
My builder, Dave, is wonderful as is Kev the Plumber and Si the leccie, they are all working together (not at the same time, room is tiny) but they accommodate each other and try their best to make it easy for each…. now this is great for them but for me it means more tea and coffee making while they sort out who is doing the next bit.

This is Dave’s leg, he is ripping up the old floor….

Old walls down and elec cables moved, pipes capped…. We are a mass of dust sheets EVERY WHERE.
I know this will look amazing when it is finished and the shopping for it was great fun, we found lovely (is that the right word for …) tiles, great big square ones, love em.
We have the paint, a shelving unit is being (bespoke) made by Dave! lighting is sorted and I can see it all in my minds eye…but at this moment it is awful…dust coming through ceiling onto cooker below, the landing and stairs are lethal and the noise is nerve jangling!

terrifying stairs… no running allowed!

have tripped over this box twice and stubbed toe once so far

Building site…
The concept of  ’working from home’ has taken on a whole new meaning, view outside my office door!

other direction of office door… I take my life in my hands… plus the noise of a nail gun and power saw! THINK MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!

as for the little driveway… no car’s allowed!

but I do love skips, very liberating for de-cluttering other parts of the house and garage, wait till Dave has gone home one night! boom it’s full.

IF WE EVER GET IT FINISHED BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY BONKERS I MAY WELL TAKE MORE PICCIES
