Blog Post 22: Barn Conversion - Not Much To Report

August 2023 - with the summer holiday season now in full swing, I find myself without contractors - so - I’ve little to report.

The tiling in the boot room is finished…

… but as you can see from all the boxes, there’s still lots of work to do in there :-(

There has been a wee bit of progress in the guest bedroom … disguising the guest bedroom ensuite notching-in is part finished …

It’s quite a ‘robust’ fix but I think, when it’s all finished, it should be ok?

The guest bed unit is part finished …

I chose a wall bed for the guest bedroom - I thought a wall bed would leave more useable space for me when I don’t have visitors :-)

I’ll admit that this barn conversion has been beset by various setbacks, but, trying to construct this guest bed unit seems to have been the straw that broke the camels back for my joiner … he has only gone and left the self-employed joinery trade and found himself another role in life :-0

I’ve made a couple of enquiries but I’m struggling find another joiner who will take on the remaining bits and pieces needed to finish my project off :-(

On a brighter note: I did have a birthday this month, celebrated with my annual celebratory cigar and a nice glass of red :-)
