Feels like massive progress as we see the MOT stone going down on top of the reduced depth earth oversite within the garage walls. I always find the building process endlessly fascinating and being part of it all unfolding at Moregeous HQ is ace! Missy Builder Cat clearly feels the same way, clamped to my... Continue Reading →
DoUpDiary #18 : Old Kitchens – Don’t skip em, sell ’em!
