…we started off with something like this…
…did a bit of this…
…and ended up with some stuff like this…
You can find a few more photos on my flickr page. Quite tired now – I might go and have a snooze…
Nuts – I forgot to fit the kitchen – back in a bit…
I didn’t surf today.

wow it is beautiful … love the balcony
finally……
you are a very clever boy you know.
ps. i dont mind making the tea xx
I’m going to have to blog this on ‘Serious Sunday’ – seriously.
Finally, some piccies. You see,the stairs turned out all right after all. Not at all bad for a beginner, mlpbkins, with a bit more practice you’ll be as good as your father!!!
Is the roof leaking? – nice shiny bucket.
ooh, very impressive. u wanna come do that to our ruin now?!
Ta Tweeny – the view is stunning at the back of the house. Lucky bastards…
Welcome Ms Upsidedowneyhead. Thankyou(I had a great education). Can I have marmite on my toast – I seem to remember you’re an excellent maker of toastable comestibles… xxx
Ma – reaching Dad’s level of craftsmanship is something I can only dream of…
Sophie – I’d love to but you’d have to join the queue I’m afraid. You should have bought one of those nice concrete boxes they sell around these parts – particularly pleasant in the winter I hear…
Wow! That ceiling/roof looks amazing! Good work!
On top of everything else, you’re handy! Nice!
Why thankyou Ms Paw…
It’s not real. It’s only a model.
That’s true. It was supposed to be a scale model of the Cutty Sark. Bastards saw me coming…
Hi!!!
Unbelievably impresssssssssiiiiveeeeeeee!! Kudos to you, and I like the picture of those… Just like the sliming advertisement kinda thingy…
‘before’ and ‘after’! *giggles*
good nite!! *kisses*
Thanks Baby. I’ve not caught any ‘sliming’ adverts recently – is that on the Ghostbusters channel…?
x
That ceiling is impressive. However….it’s quite geometric in nature and I’m very tired of math right now.
(note to self…..cute & good with his hands)
Hey Twinnerama – math is very tiresome. You should throw away those chains of society and follow your heart to the beach and the waves. Maybe after lunch…
(note to self….hot, good at math and thinks I’m cute)
a bit anal I know but is the carpentry (spelling is excused on here I hope?) all your own work? the photees of the balcony are a work of art and yes that view from it I can quite imagine is breath taking … sooooo envious
I had another carpenter on site earlier on in the proceedings but the majority of the wood was cut by my own (slightly calloused) fair hands…
wow even morer impressed
He gets it from his father……..
really???????
Some bogus advert in the telly when you watch the telly after 2am in the morning, they have these weirdos advert!
perhaps, you havent got the chance to watch since you went to bed early? *wonder wonder*
take care!!
*kisses*
if you build a music room i’ll even cut it into soldiers. xxx
Is it me or you have achieved that result in no time? and you blogged and surfed…well I think we are dealing we a super heroe here!
Very nice work!
Can I live here for a little while? I mean the blog – I’m dead again.
I certainly don’t get my hands from my father (I don’t want to have to say the word chipolatas in public but I will if I have to…).
Ms UDH – a music room/office is definitely planned for my new place. I need somewhere for all my music to get some shelf space rather than being stacked in boxes. Soldiers? Yummy… soft boiled egg too?
Hey Mrs Dixie – we started in March I think. So 8 months in all (including a few surf breaks and a blog or two). Now we are starting on my place – which is 3 times the size. Help…
A miracle has happened so I won’t have to live with you after all.
Chipolatas!!!!!! really!! that well proportioned!
It’s OK, I’ll go away now.
Byeeeeee
Who are you? Go away nutter…
oh go on then you smoove talking builder boy
Anisoptera…? xx
Patience Ms UDH – it’s in its larval stage… (ie I haven’t had a chance to start it yet but it’s on my list)….x
patience + female = no brainer
but for your handiwork, i will try and contain myself – sorry sir xx
glad to hear you are not entirely like your father that you try to question the validity of (hee hee…… did someone mention chipolatas???. I know it wasn’t me!)
Just to say fabulous workmanship Pen
What 70s said!
What they all said, I agree. Looks terrific! And you’ll be starting another one. Wow, you never rest.
You do realize this only proves further that you ARE his son, don’t you?
If I sleep I dream about your father’s level of craftsmanship….. insomnia rules ok?
*splutter* and again *splutter*
Thank you ladies…
Lizza – thank you darlin’ I intend todo some resting later on this century. As for my genetic heritage – not sure how that proves anything and even if it does I doubt it’ll stand up in court. x
Ma – maybe that’s why I don’t sleep so well. Thank god…
You alright Pops? Careful you don’t choke!
For a moment’s worth of squinting I thought that was a very high dart board above that doorway, but I’m relieved to find that it’s a clock. Wouldn’t want a lot of holes (or a common pub game) taking away all that elegance…..!
