Finished Block Work

Its taken two and half weeks but the block work is finally done, there was one or two little hold up including us changing our mind at the last minuet about the hight of the courtyard wall which is the main access down to the studio/office at the back of the building. Our brickies have been superb, they done an incredibly neat job and we couldn't be more happy with it.

It looks a little bit massive and overbaring right now but Im sure will look better once all the small details are added like a roof and garage doors! Work on the roof begins tomorrow.

While this has been happening Richard I are trying to source stuff to finished the studio off, I managed to bag a bargin on ebay and got us 25 meters of parquet flooring for just £10! Just the small task of sorting it all and giving it a quick clean up. This will hopefully be the new office floor, we dont need anything like the full 25 meters so Im hoping to sell off what we dont use.

This is currently living in our kitchen while I clean it all, so no sitting at the table for a meal for us for a while!

We have being going to car boot sales and rec yards looking for lights since the start of the build, of course now I need them all the cool old lighting seems to have disappeared or shot up in price so not much luck lately. During this weeks sunday morning boot sale hunt I did pick up this coffee sack with the coolest designs on I ever seen, Im now think of making this part of a door curtain for the new studio.

I also scored some new pans, my old ones where fine (Ive had them for 11 years) but just very devode of 70s flower patterns so they are being rehomed at the local charity shop.

Its been an exciting/frustrating/pressured few weeks and I'm looking forward to everything no longer being covered in brick dust.
