And then there were boxes











OK - so I'm a bit out of the habit of this - but people are screaming at me for piccies - so here's a few to shut them up.

Not very good piccies naturally. But I've not really got much time just now - if you really want to get a sense of what things look like : COME AND VISIT.

Look no radiators (downstairs) - underfloor heating R us - driven by an air source heat pump. Listen up people. This house is warm. Dry. AND Warm. capital wuh.

Probably the best room in the house is the upstairs landing. Not sure how we managed that. Almost all painted in Magnolia cos it's cheap and we're not proud.

We've almost emptied the sea container and most of our precious goods have survived. Now we are emptying the cottage and realising we have just way too much stuff. So we're gearing up for a car boot sale spring with the promise of losing a finger every time we buy anything. Sell sell sell.

Visit.

(But J&A are away from April 5th - 18th - sort of)

And in the Hall....
And in the Dairy....

Well jealous about the underfloor heating and the air heat pump. Will you still have enough for the windmill? www.provenenergy.co.uk

Space cluttered? No joke, it's looking busy up there.
Windmill? No joke. Great if you can get one.
'Ersta' - joke.

Mike

The question is whether or not the heat pump will leave enough air for a wind turbine. Didn't think you meant it - but Jussi pointed out a potential attempt at a joke...

Mike The Bike said...

Aha!
Good one, Jussi! Wish I had meant that as a joke.
Obviously I knew you'd have enough air left, since your sky is so much bigger than it is down here.
