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!!

Skip Ahoy! - Monday 11.1.11


The last of the carpet is out! Bathroom and landing. What is it about the smallest rooms? They get put off because It wont take a moment. And it didn't. I whipped these up and out as I waited for the skip to arrive this morning.


Shocked to note how VERY MOULDY they had become over the 17 days since the flood. They're still wet,


as you can see in the 2 shots here! Amazingly, the upper surface felt completely dry to the touch. I have to admit to a bit of a pong in the loo/landing area though and, no, this time it wasn't me.


The front elevation is also showing signs of MILD SHOCK, especially around the windows.


Thankfully the skip arrived before I could depress myself any further.


It didn't take me long to fill it up.


I headed home. 




Most of the ROSES are gone, (sorry Sam - did you want them) what more reason do I need to head out to get food?
