My word – where has the time gone!  Can’t believe the last time I updated the blog was October last year – I’m getting very slack in my old age – forgive me.

Well over the winter we’ve done a bit more on the house – the outside is all finished now and we’ve been back working inside.  We’ve taken yet another floor out and replaced it with a nice new strong one.  We weren’t going to do it but hubby wasn’t happy with the strength of the old one and once we started taking it up we discovered a few rotten beams so glad we did.  We now have a new solid floor at a lower level than before in what was the old bathroom area – this area has now been sectioned off to create a new store room, cloakroom & utility.  We are currently working on all the electrics and have already done the plumbing and waste pipes.  We’re trying to get as much done in there before the messy work of knocking through to the existing kitchen.  The new entrance will be where our oven unit currently sits so there’ll be some moving around to do and chaos for a few weeks till the old steps up to the kitchen are blocked off and the new entrance completed.  Fingers crossed by the summer we’ll be ready to do the finishing touches.
