A wall between two windows - showing exposed pipe work and stone beyond.

The same gap - covered with plasterboard and a new piece of plywood running almost all the way to the roof

My new radiator is going onto this wall to free up my big wall for a new massive pantry project.

BUT - it’s fecking heavy!!

So last night after my ladies had plumbed in everything I whacked up some plasterboard and a half sheet of ply to support it all!

Not pretty work - but we will be warm!

Ginger cat lying in a sunbeam on a rumpled blue checkered duvet

KLAXON ALERT!!!

Nemo has discovered beds … and sunbeams …. And afternoon naps!!!

Living his best life!!

Does that make us bathroom buddies??? LOL

Ginger cat on a cat tree - leaning on the top platform whilst standing on the lower. Looks like a minister about to give a sermon

Yeah!! I don’t know either???

But he is purring - so happy enough

My new bathroom sink is a Facebook freebie - but that’s a project for another time xx

A sparkling white acrylic sink sitting in a beech worktop with a scrappy plaster wall behind

My £8 sink looks fecking marvellous!!!

Not the right worktop but a working sink until I find the perfect one is just fine by me xx

Tomorrow - time to pull some cable and sort out my electrics!!

I’m not English either ….

Not my country! Knife crime is down 64% over the last decade and last year we had no unsolved murders … meanwhile we watched ICE execute two citizens live and …. NADA!!!

It really is - getting to the “I am sorry I stated this stage” so this will give me a bahookie boost and get it finished xx

Plumbers are here!!!

Today the dishwasher, sink and new range get fitted and the washing machine gets a new home in my laundry cupboard!

After a week of dust and heavy carrying - stuff starts going back in!

Excited to see it all come together xx

I’m not even English - but the American exceptionalism here is off the charts! Vibes like the Nazi Olympics LOL

Seven floors up in the Aberdeen Uni Library building - think the wee one has decided that this is where he wants to be!!

View of the Tay river from the train on the ridge - grey river, grey train, grey sky with a streak of blue x

Silvery Tay!!

Of to offers day at Aberdeen Uni with my youngest - raincoats in hand LOL

A day off from my kitchen - just some marking up of studs to do when I get home

Our library doesn’t do tools - but our local fix it cafe guy had one that he repaired xx

Bright orange stud finder with a fluorescent green screen

Well there goes my excuse for not hanging my upper cabinets this weekend LOL

New to me stud finder thanks to a local FB listing.

Sometimes having the right tool can make life so much easier

On a train tomorrow for a uni offers day. Wanted to cast on a new pair of socks .. off to wool shop I go.

Lady in there is obv on FB and harping on about immigrants & free benefits and we are too full

So - looking for a new yarn supplier! Like to shop local but not with racist ill informed fucks!

Calculating the regional result

Oh neither can I hon - the messy middle sucks xx

M’eh …..

Still it cost nothing and with a squirt of foam, some tape and finish it’ll do as it’s getting covered over by tongue and groove.

Cost - nothing as I scrounged the plasterboard

The Epstein files really show us that we've been underestimating how much men hate women and children.

What do we think she was playing? I hope it’s GTA - think of the marketing possibilities for Dundee!!

Today’s job on the Croft -some
Noggins into that stud wall and fit a piece of plasterboard into the hole.

And if you understand that you too have been watching too many midnight YouTube tutorials LOL

My “new to me kitchen” is very slowly getting there!

The Hillsborough Clock

Don't buy The Sun. Don't click on their website, don't even engage.

I am finding my bravery again - through the medium of power tools LOL

So, decided that I want a painted tongue & groove splash back in my “new to me” kitchen

To buy the paintable MDF it’s going to be £253 + shipping!

So local builders merchant is delivering two sheets for £28.80 and I have borrowed a V shaped router bit to make the grooves myself!

Tight! Moi?

It really does - and FREE is definitely the best price xx

Pine kitchen dining set painted in pale cream and grey with a scrubbed wooden top

Horrid orange pine finished table and chair set - all scuffed and scraped

This is the plan for my kitchen table in my “new to me” kitchen … but the price!!

So instead I’ve picked this up for free on FB Marketplace and already have sanding paper, stripper an primer in stock.

Reckon I will save myself about £1470….

Thanks for reminding me what a beautiful we live in xx

The skills are beginning to comeback to me - I used to be so confident at all this stuff so I am hoping the confidence comes back xx

I just want to match the edges - very nice banded ply. I have a 1000 mm unit that I can take the sides off and cut down the horizontals and rebuild - not a big job and it will match and be the same height too xx
