A birthday beer

... In the head of steam in huddersfield. Having a pint of titanic iceberg, aptly named bearing in mind spaceflower's great great grandfather died on the titanic. I wonder whether the passengers ever thought a beer would be named after the unfortunate predicament.

Day off

No builders today as its Sunday. Really taking shape down there. Floor is next on the agenda. I bought the builder a huge roll of tape to join the floor to the wall membrane, that should make it nice and water tight. Builder might be done Tuesday Wednesday, we'll then just need to get a plasterer in. Electrician lined up, window to order then it shouldn't be far off.

What a difference a day makes

Builders really cracked on today. We have drain in the floor, gravel in place and lots of plugs in the membrane. they've knocked off early as the drill bit has a flat end... That's always going to cause a problem!

Ah, that's better...

A nice clean stone vault. I won't show you the floor, it looks like its covered in snow drifts.

Project Chop Begins...

Here we go... Start of cellar conversion project, sandblasting the stone vault ceiling. Nasty mucky job, dread to think what the guys lungs are like.

Big thanks to huddersfield sandblasting company www.vapourblast.co.uk for fitting us in so quickly. Much more reliable than the scouse Collonel gadaffi who let us down!

The dog that loves smart cars...

She's getting funnier in her old age.

She now prefers to travel by Smart car, hates the lane rover for some reason? She even leans into the corners as spaceflower throws the car around the country lanes...

Here we go....

Probably the nearest pub to the new house. The bay horse at hade edge. Obviously got a problem with under age drinkers as signs everywhere saying no 14 year olds everywhere. They also don't allow dogs... Looks like its a Jennings pub, Cumberland ale and dark mild on the hand pulleds. Spaceflowers dad here preachers to the landlord about the temperature of the beer... I thought I was bad!
