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!!

Lights On, At Last Saturday 14.8.10



Autumn is coming and with it, long dark evenings and short, cold days.

We decide to prep some of the house in readiness to begin the building work.

WINTER MEANS WORK.



MeWally decides to get to grips with the wiring. Not putting it in - yet. No. Ripping it out.


By taking away all this obsolete wiring, we can reinstall the middle floor's lighting circuit. 
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.


He got on with his task. We've had no lights on the top 2 floors for months. Not that it mattered over the summer, but it will matter in the winter. We still wont have lights on the top floor, but we can, and do, plug lamps into the wall sockets.


That job done, we double checked the new stair case and marked it's position on the walls.

Boy was I relieved to find everything fits!

I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER  : )
