I hope you getting a nice Japanese squat version fitted? <br /><br />My Dad kind of built our house around our ears. Really it was his hobby. I don't remember the earliest part as they bought the house when I was due. I think they did the caravan thing for a few months, until it was habitable - they completely redesigned the rather small interior. Then rooms were added as required over the years. I remember Dad working on house jobs every weekend. Then there were big events like insulating into the loft, Mum and Dad up tiling the roof, foundations appearing, windows and doors moving. When the house was done, he got going on the outbuildings.<br /><br />Typically - here's Dad on his 80th birthday...<br />http://pickturs.blogspot.com/2010/09/jules-and-james-international-tour-of_28.htmljuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591920483149775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413478178302565063.post-53945833058066487252011-09-26T06:40:09.627-04:002011-09-26T06:40:09.627-04:00Ahh, I wouldn't call tile and toilets decorati...Ahh, I wouldn't call tile and toilets decorating. This is a knock down this and do that kind of thing where you can't really live in the house. We are hoping for an improved layout and adding a bathroom as well as insulation, foundation support, and other stuff that needs to be done before we return. After that is done then perhaps we'll take it slowly as we contemplate the kitchen and just live with it for a time. It is a big job. I can't decide if its better to be away or if it would be better to be around but renting someplace and trying to store my belongings? It is what it is- it is going forward and all of these details are clogging up my brain!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338325503246536248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413478178302565063.post-90629633314021925882011-09-26T03:25:27.782-04:002011-09-26T03:25:27.782-04:00Dear Kim,

I'm thinking that being in a state of intercontinental flux might not be the best for making these kind of decisions - that you'll have to live in (and look at) for quite a while! ;-) Do it bit by bit and spend the money slowly...<br /><br />julesjuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591920483149775255noreply@blogger.com
