One step at a time.

Slowly, slowly, inch by inch the construction of my studio is starting to happen. I am not used to sub-contracting out any building work as “The Spouse” is my builder. Together we have been owner-builders for the past twenty odd years but as “The Spouse” gets progressively more broken and some days can barely manage to stand without pain, it was time to call in some outside workers.

The plans for my studio were approved by the council in May and now it is September and work is only just starting to happen. Patience isn’t one of my strong points and the frustration of not being able to do some serious work has been making me a tad gloomy.

But!!! Now that work has started I am hoping that with everything crossed, fingers, toes, etc that I might be in my studio by Christmas.

This is the site, it is nearly ready for the concreter to come up and work his magic.

    I know a friendly fisherman concrete finisher who would love to help…if we didn’t live 10,550 miles away. What an exciting project!

    Of course you know now that we’re all going to want progress reports, with pictures.
    When it’s finished, I might just rob a bank, (ha ha just kidding), and get down there for a proper look.
