My porch which is approximately 3.5 x 4 metres used to be open at either end making it a wind tunnel and, on stormy days, letting the rain in as well.
Some time ago Doug put doors on either end and filled in a gap at the top of one wall making it more cosy.
He then decided to put a ceiling in as one could see the underside of the roofing iron - originally this was going to be on just one portion but ended up a bigger job (don't they all). More recently he has painted the ceiling but, of course, that made the walls look a bit faded so he painted them as well.
He then moved the shelving he had made to the opposite wall and I bought a new extending clothes line. That wall looked a bit bare so he drew some sketches and made some silhouettes which have just been put up.
He cut a small part off the table so that it can go up against the wall (the cut-off piece will soon be put up where the shelves were.
It is now a lovely spot to have my breakfast with plenty of light to check emails or read the paper.
I am thrilled with it.
That is Sophie's bed in front of the door.
Looks great, and a large area, perfect for breakfast, a cup of coffee, the morning paper or emails. Enjoy it all,
ReplyDeleteIt has been great for breakfast on the last couple of mornings when it has been a bit cooler.
DeleteHope your back is improving.
You have a very talented friend. I can't even get my husband to pick up his feet whe he is sitting down so I can vacuum under him.
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely a keeper!!!
DeleteThat is lovely! Well done Doug!
ReplyDeleteHe amazed me when he just said find a picture and just drew it then cut it out as a silhouette. I have trouble drawing stick men.

DeleteLooks fantastic Sue. He's a good man, that Doug. Can I borrow him :)
ReplyDeleteHe says he is too tired. We had a break today and went down to the Town Basin and sat in the shade to listen to the Basin City Band - they were very good. 30 degrees C in the porch this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lovely space to have. Clever Doug and lucky you!
