They say that beauty is skin deep. They say a lot of crap really don’t they? If it were true, then why is anatomy so bloody amazing?
In the case of buildings though, there maybe more than a grain of truth here. After having spent a great deal of time and money on the renovation of the farm, it truthfully looks more of a mess than when we started. Hacking off the inside walls makes our future home seem more like a deep mine after an explosion.
However, nearly all the preparation has been finished, and the time has arrived to add its ‘skin’.
After 70 litres of paint and 20 litres of varnish, I can safely say that I am more than a little fatigued. I never thought I’d be able to listen to my entire music catalogue in one go, but I think I’ve just achieved it. It’s a bit like watching paint dry…
We have reached the turning point. Each day, little by little, we can see the farms old beauty shining through.
Being one to get my priorities right, the snooker hall and bar are the first things to blossom,
the bathroom tiling is going at full pace,
and the kitchen is going in! Yay!
and so will we be, in two weeks time, with luck…
