Hope you have your best PPE on for your DIY jobs this Easter weekend. I have the very latest in old T shirt technology and a 5 year old covid mask #livingthedream #itwillbenice #rennovation

A grubby old cellar with a fresh brand spanking new water connection. Yes it will need lagging and frost heater cables for the winter. For now, we shall just marvel at the tap turning on and off 🤣

It’s quite hard to express how significant this bit of pipe work is… mains water connected after months of saving and days of digging and £££s extra on fittings BUT no more bucketing pond water to the loo and hauling drinking water from the petrol station!! WOOP 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 #water #rennovation #diy

All Trump Wants for Christmas is a “Triumphal Arc” At a White House Christmas reception on Sunday, President Donald Trump made clear what he wants from Santa this year. “We’re building an arc, like the Arc de Triomphe,” he said during a rambling speech, after spending 10 minutes talking about golf. “And we’re building it by the Arlington bridge … opposite the Lincoln Memorial.” Trump’s “triumphal arc” (yes, “arc”) is the latest construction project on his list, which also includes the 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom he’s tearing down the East Wing of the White House for, and his Rose Garden renovation, in which he paved paradise and put up a parking lot—sorry, a “club.” “I put Vince in charge of the triumphal arc,” Trump said, referring to his former speechwriter and the current director of the Domestic Policy Council, Vince Haley. “Vince came in one day, and his eyes were teeming. He couldn’t believe how beautiful. He saw it, and he wanted to do that,” the president continued, intelligibly. “It will be like the one in Paris, but to be honest, maybe it blows it away—it blows it away, in every way,” Trump said. But the president wasn’t quite finished gushing about his plans. He called Memorial Circle, the site across from Lincoln Memorial right on the border with Virginia, “a circle that’s been waiting to have the arc built on it.” Apparently, Memorial Circle was asking for it. Trump then asked Vince to show the plans to the National Trust. “I’ve always gotten really along well with the National Trust, so take a look, show it to them, maybe they’ve got some good ideas.” (The National Trust is currently suing the president to block construction of his ballroom.) While Trump gilds the Oval Office and plans his next vanity project, Americans are struggling to pay for necessities like groceries and doctors’ visits. Trump’s legacy will be one of staggering economic inequality—but at least we’ll have an “arc” to remember him by.

Trump’s Unhinged Statement About Bathroom Renovation Reveals a Lot President Donald Trump on Saturday put a lofty spin on his White House renovations—namely, claiming that, by renovating a bathroom in the White House, he is “saving the heritage of this country.” During his speech at the Kennedy Center Honors Dinner, Trump dwelled for a while on what, evidently, matters to him more than most else: his mission to force his dictator chic design taste upon the People’s House. Trump specifically mentioned his renovation to the bathroom of the Lincoln Suite, in the southeast corner of the White House’s second floor. In October, Trump announced that he had refurbished the bathroom with white-and-black-marble. Prior to his intervention, Trump said on Saturday, “It was the worst job. It was done in—many years ago. It was done during, actually, the Truman administration, with very cheap, green tile. That wasn’t Lincoln.” Now the bathroom is “beautiful,” he mused, done in Paradiso marble. The president acknowledged criticisms he received for the vanity project. “People said, ‘Oh, why is he wasting time?’” He continued, “That’s not wasting time, that’s saving our heritage. You know, many, many things like that, it’s saving the heritage of this country,” to which the audience applauded. In reality, Trump’s renovations seem more poised to defile than to preserve history (hence the widespread opposition among preservationist groups—not to mention the public—to the administration demolishing the East Wing to accommodate his gargantuan planned ballroom). The grandiosity with which Trump described his Lincoln Bathroom renovation this weekend is consistent with his description of the renovation when it was first unveiled, at which time he said the new marble is “very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln.” Historians and designers dismissed the claim. Edward Lengel, former chief historian of the White House Historical Association, told _The New York Times_, “It doesn’t look anything like 1860s interiors to me.”

Drywall is more annoying that hard to put up. But my baby girl will have the best room in the house. (Featuring my dad.)

In 2023, we embarked on a full kitchen remodel. It was the best thing that’s ever happened to us. #oldhouses #rennovation #kitchenremodel

Layered, open, comforting, interesting.

As I was making my breakfast, in a kitchen I LOVE (but has some niggling annoyances), a thought occurred to me.

If you have a #HomeImprovement #Contractor doing a #Rennovation of your #Kitchen, DO NOT PAY THEM until you have set an egg on the counter and it doesn't fucking roll anywhere.
