The Money Pit: The Kitchen Project
http://dreamhousemoneypit.blogspot.com/2011/09/kitchen-project.html
Monday, 19 September 2011. After 2 years of not having a kitchen, we at last managed to save up enough cash to get the kitchen done. The husband did a mighty job of getting everything done on a tight budget. If the UN are looking for a keen negotiator then he is your man. This is how the kitchen looked beforehand. First step was replacing the rotten windows. Not a big job but quite a costly one. The photo doesn't really do them justice but I love them plus we managed to get them on sale. Worktops were al...

The Money Pit: The Waiting Game
http://dreamhousemoneypit.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-waiting-game.html
Tuesday, 31 July 2012. We are still awaiting the builders starting the next phase of works for the B&B. In the meantime we are getting on with some of the work we can do in other areas. We were aiming to get Kid 1's room completed by the time she was six months, what with the chaos that having your first baby that deadline moved to her being a year. Some might point out that I could be doing it rather than writing this blog but one of the prerequisites of feeding a small baby is to be sat down so I have ...

The Money Pit: January 2010
http://dreamhousemoneypit.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 January 2010. What I didn't realise was that the 'walk' was more akin to a hike. A three hour hike, up a hill, at 25 weeks pregnant with nary a toilet in sight.toileting issues (or lack thereof) aside we had a marvellous day. The weather was amazing. Enough to feel a sense of achievement at the top. And the views were immense enough to warrant catalogue style posing. 8217; I eventually managed to anchor myself with a walking pole after sliding about 70 metres. Scare-larious…. Seating the 5,000.

The Money Pit: April 2010
http://dreamhousemoneypit.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 23 April 2010. So we have spent the last few weekends trying to get a few projects completed before the arrival of the baby. Weekends in March and April have largely been overtaken by the Bedroom Project, the Nursery Project and the Downstairs WC Project. Here is the low down on the Bedroom Project. This is it emptied of furniture. The front wall needed to be re plastered. As the plaster hadn't been applied properly before and had lifted away from the wall. Then there was a painting which was som...

The Money Pit: May 2012
http://dreamhousemoneypit.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 15 May 2012. Planning, planning, planning. Well although it seems, according to the blog at least or in fact if you look around the house (you'll have to take my word for that one), that not much has been happening in terms of development of the Money Pit there has been a whole lot going on behind the scenes. Funded through Defra for independent, small hotels and B&Bs in rural areas to apply for grant funding to support renovation projects. We had a week. The B&B project was underway.
