July at Birch Cottage


Construction of the small dividing wall to separate fridge from passage.

Construction of the small wall for an overhead kitchen cupboard to be attached.

An indication of the overnight temperature at present.
We left a 2L icecream container of water outside overnight.
This was lifted off the top in the morning.

This photo was taken at midday!!

Just so you can see how far we have come in this room, a reminder of what it looked like in January!

What are we doing ??

Since we last put up a post, we have been quietly preparing for the next stages of the reno. We have had a glazier measure up for the shower screen, and it is being manufactured now. We have also had two Joinery companies measure up for quotes to make and install a new kitchen. We have had their first drafts, and are now working on the second. And . . . we have started PAINTING the bathroom with it's final colour! Stay posted . . . next week we will reveal the colour.
