UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2023:
We have moved! After our recent wedding, my husband and I have begun the next step in our lives and bought a period property in the West Norfolk countryside. We are living in the annex barn conversion whilst the property requires extensive renovation, so I am working from a temporary craft room and all spare hours are spent renovating and gardening! New products will be more sporadic as and when time allows for a few months.
Some of the sewing machines arriving off the removal van with annex in the background:
First task- new roof to make the annex watertight using reclaimed Norfolk pantiles:
Finished roof:
Now for the next phase- removal of rotten/insufficient floor joists and installation of a new floor. At least we can keep the two main beams for a bit of gym workout!
March 2024- Steel supports in and cutting of the structural timber:
Making modern pine look older: Shaping of the edges, 3 layers of fire protection treatment, wood staining and 3 layers of Danish oil required:
And whilst we are making a mess in the dining room, why not remove the render off the fireplace too :D
Plans to re-purpose one of the old wooden beams to make a lintel.
