And there's more..!

July 25, 2024

Exciting times! In the room we have been calling the store room, just off the covered walkway there have been two new additions. These windows will create light and make this room useable for more things than storage. In daylight the windows overlook the carpark to the rear of the property. They will also This […]

A Light in the Darkness

July 18, 2024

On one visit I was struck by how much lighter the back bar area was. There was a pocket of light where previously there had only been a timber ceiling. What was this new light source? The light source was the sky, I would say the sun, but that was absent! The space had been […]

On a routine visit Tracey and I happened to be in the right place, at the right time, for a delivery. A very exciting delivery.

As this would cause issues accessibility-wise, this had to change. So the step had a bit of a make-over....and was transformed. […]

Under the Floor

June 6, 2024

Presented with this view...what would expect to find when you removed the floor? To be honest, we thought it would be a red and black tiled floor maybe. Followed by a concrete floor...but the house held another secret! Underneath this floor they found more than they had expected. Just below the red and black was […]

Walls that had been interesting in themselves! Now this... Very open plan! There's beams galore! Its amazing to think that these […]
