It's over a month..

..Since I last posted - as pointed out by Ste. Sorry I have been more than a little tardy in my updating but this has been confounded by two factors

1. Been doing lots of sorting stuff out with Newhouse. And as a portion of this seems to involve me 'researching' stuff on the web I have ample distraction when I could be blogging.

2. They've got better at filling my time when I'm at work/I haven't done any nights in ages. So no stretches of time in which I keep all you lovely people up to date with what is happening in my life.

So the house - Well, we've had the roof done (quite some time ago, may have made reference to that already) It is now sporting some very large pieces of wood, which'll help stop it all falling in on its self (hopefully). We've removed the bath from the bathroom so it can be better utilised as a bedroom. Cleared out most of the furniture that was hanging around in the Kitchen. It's now hanging around in the kitchen of S&G's new house along with all their stuff. A very expensive furniture store it is indeed.

Hmmm, what else. Well the sparkies are in - they are re-wiring the house. Replacing all the cables that have been crushed and what have you. So that's cool.

And we have yet another architect on the job. But she seems pretty good, coming form a conservation point of view that is pretty much with us.

The other main thing I've been doing is, as Mr Smith has most dutifully pointed out, indulging in a bit of porn'. Don't get too excited, this is stove porn' (still not as interesting as your fetid little mind thinks Ste). Yep, been doing some heavy research into pellet stoves. They are cool.

Have look here if you really want to and here - it's a google map I made. I'm relatively proud of it. The kaboodle site doesn't have all the places/models we are looking at on it - but I think the map does. If anyone ahs any other suggestions that's be great.

Actually if I haven't blogged for a while then kaboodle is always a good place to see what I'm up to - I'm increasingly using snip stuff out the inter-tangle.

Anyway, I need to sign of as we are due to meet a chimney engineer - more on that later, at Newhouse. What a surprise.
