One girls DIY restoration of a cottage.

As far as possible we, me and MeWally, want an old age with low, or no, utility bills. We also happen to be stingey with money and will make as much eco stuff as we can and build it all into our tiny house.

So we'll have a comfortable home that's cheap to make and to run. RESULT!!

Revealed A Nice Outlook

Still haven't managed to add any more plaster board to the walls. But have fitted the reveals around the 2 windows on the top floor. Then I can offer up the plasterboard to make the whole thing look sharp....in a rustic  stylee.


First off visit Sue to see her tiling.Pretty good, as it happens. Though she does have to go outside to do the cutting whilst wearing full waterproofs.



I came away from her place with a plank of wood that's just right for a DEEP WINDOW SILL.


Use Sues wood to make a window sill. First strip it of it's lumpy paint!


Tools on the lawn.




Wood around the windows




To enhance the light and airy feel of the room, I've LIMED the reveals, lintel and sill around this window. By doing the liming while the wood was on the work bench, I avoided the over layering of the lime polish in the corners which can look clumsy.
