Getting Going

The first step was to put some Christmas decorations in the window...... and an announcement about the changes

Then to  take wall furniture down......and move the bar to get a clearer idea of the space available

Unfortunately, while doing this, I discovered there was a long-standing leak and that the carpet, underlay ,damp protection material and skirting boards in front  of the fireplace were rotten ..... and had to be scraped out !! 

We think it may be  a leaking flat roof /lead flashing alongside the chimney breast... as water collects when it snows or rains !!!  Today the roofers are coming to take a look and see what they can find..... fingers crossed !  Not  lot I can do until this problem is solved.....  so excitement suspended for a while !!!
