Me and DH have worked our bums off this weekend clearing out the loft / sewing room so that the builders can get in there tomorrow ... it's nearly 6pm on Sunday evening and we are officially shattered!
You know I have too much a lot of sewing stuff up there but we also had to empty the eaves (great place for hiding Christmas decorations, suitcases, old boxes of photos, etc!) Here's the before photos, in all it's glory:
The 'workout ladder' - have lost count how many times we were up and down this yesterday and today:
And everything has to go somewhere until we decide what's getting kept (only what we love or use!), what's going to the charity shops and what's getting binned. The spare bedroom:
Thank goodness we have two bathrooms:
The 'ready for the builders' photos:
And DH has set me up in the dining room. Well, it might take them more than a week!!
How exciting! What are you having done up there? Good to see you have got the dining room all prioritised :-)
ReplyDeleteWow you have been busy, I do hope you have your feet up with a glass of something cold now. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteWe had to empty our loft last April for loft insulation(just after I had started a new job) - nightmare!! & and such hard work. It was worth it though, we got rid of a lot we no longer needed.
ReplyDeleteCrikey. Hope you had a massive gin after all that hard work!
ReplyDeleteA large glass of iced cider hit the spot, Kathleen :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you had a lot of stuff up there! I hope you get a good night's sleep -good thing tomorrow is Monday, so you can "rest" at work! :) Will you need to paint or do any of the work yourselves up there?
ReplyDeleteWe get Monday off to celebrate the queen's b-day. Hope you do, too! You need a chance to catch your breath.
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I had your reason for my big mess at the moment;-) Am I correct that your sewing room was up that ladder?
ReplyDeleteblessings, jill
I'm so glad you will be able to bathe. What a mess, but, on the bright side, you have a wonderful dining room to sew in and you don't even have to climb the ladder. I'm so sorry you had to move your stuff though. Looks like a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteI am o glad I didn't have to face that climb! Looks tricky! I am adding you to my blog list and will follow your construction progress.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I'm a little bit jelly of that fabric stash! DH sounds like a keeper, too :-)
