Burst pipes in the boiler. hole in the roof? These are the only things we'll have done if needed in future... we've had enough done and we're fed up of trades men...
This last 6 months, we've had a 30m hedge taken out and a fence put in its place; new window in our bedroom to have a fan light, as there was just one big window, I need cool air; new garage door; new garage roof; new patio; new front door; outside lights; planted close on £300 worth of small garden trees and shrubs instead of the hedge and sorted out a decorator to paint the outside walls.
We had already had a new bathroom, kitchen, plus extra electrical wall sockets, decorated through out, and a carpet in the lounge..So we're done! In June we'll have been here three years.
We feel happy and sorted and living a comfortable life.. I have to be more active, so must get this sleep sorted, its so annoying to be awake a couple of hours each night. Dh lets me sleep on, but then our days start late, as I'm showering at gone 10 some days!
Roll on the summer months I'm ready for it! We're getting the garden straight while its dry, house work when its wet, so gradually getting sorted, hurrah!

That's a lot of work! We've got nothing much to do in the house, it being a rented place, but I wish the weather would stabilise as we have so much to do in the garden.
Good for you! That's a lot of accomplishments!
It must feel good to have some much sorted in this home. Enjoy!
Wow! You've done so much work on your house!! It's such a relief when things are finally done. Housework when it rains and outside when the weather is fine. That's my way too.
Re those newspaper pots in your last post...I tried those one year but I must have used the wrong paper ( or watered too liberally) because my pots fell apart.
Disrupted sleep takes its toll on a person. So many folks have this problem.How I wish there was a simple solution. Have a good week.
That's a lot of work but it feels good when it's done. We have a lot of work to be done in the house and garden this year.
That sounds amazing what you have done to the house. It must look and feel a dream. Hope you can relax now and sleep better. Roll on summer. Its forgotten to leave us perhaps that's why you are still waiting for it.
Hopefully now you can relax and enjoy your home and environs :)
