I know it doesn't look like it but this will be my kitchen/dining area, the stairs are coming out they will wind the other way, there will be a cupboard there....come on use that imagination!!
This lovely old post that was in The brambles is now the centre point in our lounge and structural, it stands above the stairs and holds up one of the foot square beams. The lounge area had to have all new beams cut in Douglas fir as the old ones were not seated in the wall ok for the span it needed now the wall is gone. Just behind this post will be a small log burner, it will all make sense when I move in!!! ho ho ho.
Oh and this is looking from the landing up to Steves new room there will be a window going in here, and obviously some much needed stud work! so as you can see its at its bear minimum at the mo and we have a few bits on the roof to fix, now that will be entertaining as its a 45 degree pitch and 3 storeys on the front.....I can make it up 7 steps with out getting dizzy...not quite enough maybe!!!!!
And this is looking to where Laura's mezzanine will be....you lot have really got to get that imagination going. it will be fine, no idea when but it will be fine....we have first fix electrics in two weeks...do you think we will make it??? at the mo not a chance.....but we will see and first fix plumbing in three weeks, another pie in that sky or can we reach it.....that's only the top floor, we are only tackling the top floor to try to get that habitable by April to move Laura and Steve over there to put this house on the market... I wish we could do this full time instead of having to run a business full time too and the animals and school stuff, and family etc....One day eh! Its a little daunting at the mo!!! I bet dad will read this and thank goodness he has just had his shoulder op as he can have a few weeks off, so now when they come to visit they are safe, no more "dont suppose you can take this to the dump on the way back" and certainly no more humping and dumping plasterboard with me for a while, I reckon he's wearing that sling and he takes it off when we arent looking,!!! ha ha only kidding Dad I know it hurts like mad but 6 weeks and you'll be as good as new....bet you cant wait!
