So....we've been self isolating for 8 weeks now and both places have been closed under Government instructions although the Lodge has been made available for key workers. None have needed it in this area though so it's been very quiet here guest wise. HOWEVER.....it has not been quiet on the work front as in those 8 weeks Bub has..
1) taken down the decking outside Eastside at the front f the property and done a beautiful block paved replacement.(see the new cover photo)
2) completely redone the little room that connects The Lodge with our part of the house where everything to do with the business is stored. Dug up the floor, re-concreted it, taken off the polycarbonate roof and put a proper flat roof on with a skylight, replaced the ceiling, painted it all, added a light and laid a new floor covering.
3) as the new roof on that made our bathroom quite dark he's installed a velux rooflight in the bathroom (lovely catches the morning sun).
4) created a new patio for us behind the recently added garage.
5) and now he is working on levelling the driveway as it had a bump in it apparently ( I never noticed) So having scraped all the bump off getting rid of the hardcore and rolling it flat he's now got 10 ton of gravel on order to top it off.
That's without all the jobs I've had him doing around the house and the garden. So yes, hes been stuck at home and not able to go to work being in his mid 70s but obviously doesn't believe in slacking! Just watching him (and making endless cups of tea) tires me out. Me? I've walked the dog and been on a few bike rides. lol
We re-open I think in early July all being well. I think he wi need a rest from being at home. :)
