Kitchen almost finished....

We are making good progress with the kitchen at the cottage.
We now have a cooker hood, glass and stainless design fitted above the stove, and have bought a butcher's type chopping block, although at the minute don;t want to damage the wooden top chopping veggies on it!
It is really lovely in this room when sun streams in through the velux roof windows.

Hardwood Sun Room / Conservatory

Today we have successfully purchased a hardwood conservatory for fitting to the rear of the cottage.
As per our usual purchases (yes an Ebay bargain!) although hubby may not agree when we have to start to construct

It was for sale by someone who had bought it in 1996 from Wickes, stored in his garage, and never constructed.. chance would have it that this was exact same conservatory that we had built on a previous house we owned, so we knew of the components and a rough idea of how it should fit together...( the seller has no instruction manual so this part should be fun)

We intend to put into storage until next year when we will make a start in foundations etc for dwarf wall that is needed..

Will keep the blog updated when we get further with the sun room plans ...

Garage Tidying

Garage tidying day! We are still undecided as to whether we should dismantle the garage, leaving a rear workshop area only, and leaving a driveway only to park the car on. One of the advantages if we did this, we would have a lovely sandstone wall as our view.

and this wall would be demolished....
