So
here we are, moved in with the bare essentials, and all the good stuff (art,
music, books etc) in storage.
Our
long held dream of finding an old house to eco renovate is at last coming true.
Be careful what you wish for.
Fully immerse ourselves in the maelstrom that is architects
plans, building control, green technologies and the integration thereof. The
shamefully cynical and wholly inadequate Green Deal (a complete waste of time)
and the frequently fruitless quest for a builders quote, (if you ask six you may end up with the
recommended three) Its all slow slow slow, and very draining.
We must be able to work so press on with is the building
of our new garden studio. Once the kiln is set up in the garage we clear away
the broken down old summerhouse and garden shed.
Nothing
beats a bit of demolition for tension reliving therapy and provides us with
enough combustibles for a roaring bonfire.
Andy
is in his element preparing the groundwork’s. Laying in mains water pipes and
electricity. Frustratingly I am forced into a supervisory role due to very recent heart surgery. The sidelines is not my natural
habitat.
The
bits arrive for the 3 X 6 mtr wooden shed from Dunster House Constructions
wiz along and are completed in 4 exhausting but satisfying days.
Paint
the outside as we build ( something I can do Yay) with Sadolin extra durable wood
treatment in black. A favourite colour for all garden buildings, it makes them
recede into the background and stops them dominating the space.
Inside
we add extra velux windows on the north facing side and insulation in the roof
and floor.
