As you are all aware, the world has come to a standstill, and with it, so has our extension. Since our last update, there has been some progress, just not quite to the stage I had hoped we would be at. Nevertheless, we have progressed enough that I can move on with plenty of jobs […]

Kitchen Extension Update 2
The thing that has surprised me the most about having work-people in is how quickly things happen, when they happen. Admittedly, starting an extension in winter was not the best of plans, but when they can crack on, they REALLY crack on. So, for this extension update, expect BIG advances. When I last left you […]

Brand new (old) house cont.
