The Extension

 A Mountain to Climb

The sun is shining. 

Glorious.

It really does lift my spirits and mood. I am a morning person and love to get up early, as long as the sun is getting up with me!

However, despite this lovely Spring like weather,I do have this nagging feeling of a long haul ahead. 

I am an organised person.

 I will even confess to be somewhat OCD about some things.

But....the truth be told we all have clutter and mess around our houses don't we? The problem is we have very little time to clear some very messy, rubbish clutter filled areas out before the builders move in. So, partly to destroy the myth that I live in a perfectly organised world, here are some shockingly honest photos of the two garages that we have to empty before they are demolished in a few weeks time. 

Jenny , from Beauty and The Biryani these photos are for you to prove I do have secret clutter and mess!!

These first pictures are of a large, double, pre fab, mostly derelict garage that is being demolished and rebuilt as a smaller garage, utility room and cloakroom, boot room and back door. It will be adjoining the house. It has become a dumping ground in the last 6 months as we have begun to sort other areas.

These next pictures are of a lean to garage that is adjoining the house at the moment. This is being demolished, re built and widened. The back wall that joins the house will be taken down to double the length . This will become our kitchen. 

Much imagination needed here people!

I have also set myself a bit of a challenge to motivate us to tackle these horrid jobs. I am trying to save some money to "style" our new rooms when the building has finished, but know that money is going to disappear very quickly. So any items from this clear out that can be sold, will be, and the profit is going in a fund that will help finish our project off. I already have earmarked a few car boot sales in the next few months that I plan to do. My e.bay stash has been moved temporarily into the loft as it has outgrown the bedroom. I have listed my first load and made just over £100. It's a start.

The challenge is on.
