Happy new year everyone :)

Had a chance for a little visit over the Christmas period to get up to the allotment, greenhouse is smashed to smitherines which isnt good, need to find a replacement for the glass

Here's where I'll be adding the kitchen window once I get a decent dry day to do it



Been trying to sort out where to put the settee's in the living room, and I think this is the wall where Im going to do a feature wall made from pallets :)

Looks big enough to use as a holiday let for townies who might be interested in a taste of the Good Life.  :lol:

Lol cheers Paul hahaha

So, more work done over the weekend :)

Idea was to at least try and get the kitchen window in, and get the interior of the building cleaned out further

Outside before i started



and inside



and after the dindow was added





Had a fire on the decking whilst all this was going on (literally, the outside of the pallet fire pit caught fire so i had to rip it apart, gonna have to think of a better way of making the pit look nice lol, hosepipe came in handy haha)







The wife cam and joined us for lunch, and a cuppa :)

Lol, yes, but I leave most of that to my wife and kids and my mother in law unless I’ve ran out of repairs/development stuff lol

What you need is to borrowour site warden (you could keep him if you wish) and then you could play hunt the corrugated iron sheet. That'd prevent those periods of boredom and laying flat.

PS You need curtains or blinds so you can see out to supervise the workers but not be seen working hard to organise from the control centre.  ;)

Cor - you're not forgetting this corrugated iron!

Looks like an ideal moment though
