Improvements Carried Out

These are the things which have been done this last week:

• Skirting board fitted on the landing
• New wooden trim at the top of the stairs
• New wood covering all of the beam next to the stairs
• All the "junk" (decorating etc stuff) has been moved from the boiler room
• The workshop, a private room at the back, is now used to store the decorating stuff
• The "lean-to" at the back has been cleared and the wood tidied up
• Two bikes (one adult, one kid) now kept in the wood store
• Kitchen cupboard between the cooker and fridge now fixed to the wall
• New shutters built for the bunk bedroom
• Table tennis table delivered
• All beds now have decent pillows
• There are now warm spring duvets for all the beds
• Additional crockery and cutlery bought (necessary with the dishwasher!)
• Additional serving plates bought
• Another sofa - we now have a sofa by the large doors: perfect for lounging on with a book!

There is still more to do (there always is!), but I am happy that the house is getting better and better each year.

Finally, a very big thank you to Bill who accompanied me on my trip and helped with a lot of the work.
