Day 70 - I did it!

After Shaun's somewhat depressing suggestion that we replace the wall between my study and the boys room I spent last weekend tackling the somewhat daunting task of moving everything in my study away from the offending wall. This meant trying to fit it all onto the shelves on the other side.

And I did it!



Now of course you could argue I've just got too much stuff in there, and this doesn't include all the stuff that moved with me to my temporary home at Davids, but I'm very proud that it all fitted!

It was a bit like building a dry stone wall, you had to find the right sized slot for the box you were holding!



This is the tidiest my desk has ever been!



And then on Monday the desk came down and the chests of drawers got moved over and it all got covered in black plastic which will hopefully protect it when they knock the wall down.

Day 52 - The Wall dividing East and West Lounge goes up

Part of the changes we're making is to steal some space from the lounge to make a study/den for the boys. Somewhere they can play computer games on the laptops, do homework, play on the wii and watch what they want on the TV - not all at the same time obviously!

It's not going to be a huge room but it should be big enough for some desks at one end and a small sofa and tv at the other.


Lounge side view - this will end up being a corridor with access to the storeroom, utility room and the new lounge


Study side view - The boarding is what used to be the patio doors in the lounge. At some point they'll be a window there
