Our refurbishments

As promised, an early Monday morning photo of what was J's computer corner in the process of being dismantled and early afternoon today after the bread came out of the oven.



As you can see, although the sink is in place, its base unit is not finished but it's
usable and doesn't leak. Pip seems to think the under sink storage is her personal toy-box at the moment. If not there, then the vegetable storage under the central table is equally fascinating.

There are still some things to be moved around or tidied away but it's a vast improvement. The doorway through from the dining room is becoming an archway, instead of a square hole in the wall. The small arch above the cooker needs its bricks tidying up, the other side is the wood burner. The dining room now has lots more space, we have 2 rocking chairs - one either side of the wood burner - which aren't as squashed in now.

Next week, well who knows what we'll be doing. It all depends on the weather. Mariano arrived Thursday to do some olive pruning and he has 3 dry-stone walls that have collapsed and need rebuilding but at the moment there's not much chance of any outside work happening.

  2. Hope you got the kitchen curtaining up, and S's measurements didn't leave you with too much! We will know if we see you wearing it I guess..I'll follow this, and then you can have a look at mine!
