An Expensive Month

Mum and Dad left this morning, and within an hour, the Bull Finch that has visited us twice since the weekend, but never since they arrived, was back on the feeder!
Once he had flown off, it was time to get to work.
We've are having one of those periods at the moment. Firstly the garage door, which has been on borrowed time for many years, decided to give up the ghost. Choosing a new one was complicated as we would like to turn it into a pedestrian entrance to overcome the stupid siting of our back door. The theory is, if we get a wicket door in there, we can then use the scullery as a proper boot/muck room. Something for Paul to do sometime when he visits, remove and re site some cupboards and a bit of worktop. Oh, and another idea I had - once the cupboards had been changed we could put a radiator on the wall in there too.
But then the boiler broke as well.
If you've got to go to the expense of a new boiler, you might as well get the rad done at the same time. That'll be next week then: Paul lives in Lincolnshire: Better get the cupboards out ourselves!
In all that excitement, I forgot to take a 'Before' photo, so here's an 'after' shot. From this angle you can't really see any difference anyway, just a missing drawer where there used to be a corner cupboard.
This one was taken before things were put into their temporary homes, the worktop where Husband is standing will eventually go, leaving a run of cupboards along the back, but clear floor space along the side.

Let's hope we are back to having some central heating before too long. So far we have been managing without for a week. Thank God for woodburners.
