Every year I write a list of projects we\u2019d like to achieve within the next 12 months and at the end of the year I look back at how successful (or not!) we were in achieving them.<\/p>\n
Last year we set ourselves four main projects (you can read the original blog post here<\/a>), which included:<\/p>\n This year I\u2019m pleased to report we\u2019ve managed to achieve 3 out of 4 \u2018items\u2019 from our list! Which I think is pretty good going considering 2020 was a strange year\u2026<\/p>\n OK so, the basement isn\u2019t actually fully renovated,<\/em> but it is fully stripped back and pretty much all the prep-work has been achieved.<\/p>\n We spent months at the start of 2020 stripping paint, cement slurry and all kinds of other muck from the brickwork<\/a>. There was literally bags and bags of the stuff!<\/p>\n We also installed a new basement window,<\/a> sanded back some of the original wood panelling above the stairs, opened up a fireplace<\/a> and generally spent hours cleaning and scrubbing the entire space down. It took FOREVER!<\/p>\n The rooms may not be finished down here, but the worst of the work is at least done, so I\u2019ll celebrate that! We also now have electric installed to the basement \u2013 but I\u2019ll talk more about that soon!<\/p>\n\n
