Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House

[Chris]

Same.

@neph93:

Having seen the kitchen and the exterior construction IRL, I can’t say I’m very surprised.

@Chris:

Same.

My thoughts exactly.

[Giles]

That's very nice of you all, but they real jobsworths, so I was worried….

[Giles]

Not nearly as impressive as some of my Norwegian friends wood stores, but this should see us through a southern English winter…

Overflow, just in case….

[neph93]

Nothing quite like a well stocked wood shy. Which wood do you have in there? And how long did it take Alex to chop and stack it? [emoji1]

[Giles]

I'm not sure what the wood is, I forgot to ask Charlie, my woodman.  He's a fellow landrover owner, so he looks after me, I normally get pretty good wood, a larger than normal load at a smaller than normal price….

Oak

[neph93]

@Chap:

Oak

Looked like that to me too. Excellent thermic properties.

[Giles]

Bit of an afterthought.  Realized that stair rails would be a good idea.  Oak pigs ears…...

[Giles]

Oh, and we upgraded the pot-filler.  Retail USD1,500, got it for USD100 on the Bay…..Out with the Chinese, in with Germans....

[Aetas]

Fits in very well!
Never seen a double handle pot filler, with such an unusual but beautiful line management, over here.
Who made this G. ?

[Giles]

Franke….

Very nice indeed. Love a bit of oak. Be handy if you ever have drunken Norwegians visiting [emoji15]

[Giles]

Can't see that happening anytime soon….

[organisys]

A runner on those steps might be nice.. also help stop you going A over T.

[Giles]

We have runners on the main stairs, the treads of which are knackered from 2 centuries of use and abuse, but this ancient pitch pine has so much character it would be a crime to hide it….

That arch though… damn Giles. You are one stylish mother jumper.
And those rails are very nice.

[Giles]

Took me and Les bloody ages to work out how to get it up there and make sure it stayed up.  It's fibrous plaster, so weighed a ton….

[Matty123]

I’m glad you did. Im sure you are too. There’s a story for expert fixture in your house. That’s some cool
Shit.

[Giles]

Copper guttering and downpipes for the BBQ area.  Now just need some serious evo, living in a salt-laden atmosphere will help with that….
