All will be revealed

After 7 years of prevaricating I have finally put my money where my mouth is (since the Diocese won't cough up) and had patio doors installed in the kitchen in place of the badly-fitted windows. This will mean that for my monthly Coffee Mornings in the warmer weather the doors can be opened and people can move out onto the patio area instead of being cramped together in the kitchen.

This house now has 5 external doors, plus the garage, which is a bit excessive, but I wanted these put in so that I can use that outside area with much greater ease. It also means that if I host a summer Garden event, then teas can be easily served without tramping through the main hall or up my back passage!

The kitchen had to be cleared before the work began as there was going to be a lot of dust created when the brickwork was removed. All is now cleaned and put back.

  1. Oh, that's much nicer than that little nooklet with no room and no access. It will make the whole room seem bigger.

  3. The recess worked quite well, housing the butcher's trolley, chair and stool, but now it's open and light with only the chair in front of the left-hand door. I shall have to get used to being exposed!

    And now you're exposed!

  5. Five doors will also make evading unwelcome parishioners simpler.

  6. Oh, now I notice that it wasn't as shallow as I thought. I have to say how much I admire those radiators you have for heat in the UK. So handy for drying things on when it's raining! :-)

  7. They get used for that quite often - also for airing sheets, duvet covers, towels etc ...
