ONE YEAR ON

It is a year today since I moved in with Doug.  We seem to have done an awful lot in that year.  When I moved here there was a lot planned with the house.  We had spent the previous winter redecorating my house and so very little had been done at Doug's.

 Still a lot to do but he has ticked a lot off the list.    Prior to Christmas we had the high bits on the house painted and after Christmas it was the turn of the back deck.

 This was before


and this is after


These are before photos of the inside 







and the new look






and before and after looking up to the roof in the entrance




It has made a world of difference and, amazingly, Doug agreed to have a painter do the work leaving him time for other jobs. 

We had to clear everything out for the painter and have done a good job in getting rid of items surplus to requirements.

There is also a retractable 4 line clothes line which is a godsend in this wet weather we are having.

    1. Wonderful - if I mention anything he has often made it before I realise.

    1. It is great - pity it is a bit too hot during the day at the moment but this weather can't last.
