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!!

Spare Room Start Off - 1.5.15

MeWally has to run all upstairs wiring through the bathroom; and some of the downstairs too (lighting). From there it'll be fed to the rest of the house.

So, floorboards up in the neighbouring room and again we get a glimpse of the top of the ground floors' stone wall and the method used to support the floorboards at the correct height. Stone work's looking revolting, but will clean up OK.

MeWally intends to sort the floor in here next, because it's in the same state as the bathrooms was which will make running services unpleasant. 

Also we know the floor has an amazing slope to the south which can be rectified as he works. 

Lot of work on what will appear to be a very simple room.
