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!!

New Windows - Monday 31.1.11




THE STROUD WINDOW COMPANY came to The Turn Around House today to fit 2 new windows.

THE STROUD WINDOW COMPANY

The rest of the windows have been double glazed; it's time these rotting , wooden ones were done too.

Both windows were removed 


in double quick time - I mean DOUBLE QUICK!


The new windows made the rooms look so much sharper from the moment the frames went in.


I got on with emptying the loft, a job I had to leave when Sams' house flooded. 


I think I was a bit of a pain to Phil who was working on the landing window as I threw things out of the loft hatch and into his general direction!


Nothing put him off his task, although he was a star, helping me lower the bigger/heavier items out of the loft. 


Because I kept interrupting Phil, his little window took quite a lot longer to fit than Daves'  much bigger one.


See, this is a dismal shot of Dave, all finished and chipper, whilst Phil struggles on.

Fantastic job - I'm really impressed.

NO WONDER THESE GUYS ARE SO BUSY, WE'LL DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN.

Tomorrow : back to Sams' place for the final full day working there for me. Just the specialists after that, with me lending a hand to move furniture out of the way so that they can do their jobs.
