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!!

Stairs Arrival Thursday 22.7.10


It's been many weeks since we touched our RESTORATION PROJECT.  When dad went home at the end of May, it marked the beginning of summer and the birthday season.

What does that mean?

It meant we would be too busy to devote whole days to the project, so it's been on hold ever since. Apart, that is, from selecting a good local joiner and submitting the plans of the staircase (such as they are) to them.............................................

Yippeeeee


THE STAIRS ARE HERE!!!!



After many weeks of waiting they were delivered today. Very chunky, very plain. 

SIMPLE STAIRS FOR A SIMPLE COTTAGE.

SIMPLY PERFECT.

Made in Nailsworth by MEACO. What a blindin' team of CRAFTSMEN.


I know what you're thinking, and I'm not sure yet. I'll be doing a bit more more on the house over a couple of weeks in August; work schedule permitting, and definitely as from September. The stairs should be in and the floors made good, plus the lofts' floorboards relaid and its' insulation completed by Christmas..........Then we can run some wiring and partition off the shower room ready to fit out and tile before next summer. 



THAT'LL BE ONE WAY TO KEEP WARM OVER THE WINTER!!


Then it's FINAL FIX - MOVE DOWN ONE FLOOR - START ALL OVER AGAIN!
