Our House

Four and a half years on!

Yes, it really has been 4 1\2 years! Can't believe we thought the renovations would only take us a year, we now understand why every house on Grand Designs takes longer than planned (and goes over budget😓!) Little was achieved most of the year due to Michael working in China. Since he has been home we have found the motivation to get all the little jobs finished.
Cloakroom finished - on the hunt for a small unit for under the sink!


Utility area fitted and washing machine plumbed in

New steps - now meet regulations!

Shed painted - I was so cold after painting I needed a shower to warm me back up! 

Christmas decorations up 


The Antique centre now has reclamation - I was in heaven!!

Looking forward to going back up again soon, the builder is starting to repoint the house tomorrow.  We may even be completely finished before our 5 year milestone!🙌

It's been a while!

I really didn't realise it had been a year since my last blog entry!  Time really has flown this year.  As the house is now habitable we have had less work to do therefore not much to report on.  After speaking with some friends today I decided to make this post a bit of a nostalgic one.  It has now been 4 years since we bought our lovely Cullen house and made it our own.  I honestly had forgotten just how much we have done in that time.  I hope you enjoy the before and after photos!
