The new 'new old house resto' thread

Can you not just make a longer or stitched together vertical draught excluder

 

Or boat fender

 

Do you have a pic of where the hinges mount?

Just for information wood filler is the same as car body filler you just pay more for a smaller tub

 

no because the door's closed as i have nice cosy fire

I already have wood filler in the house, but good to know

 

i could but i''m not going to

that would never be me... i don't drink to excess

 

Dare ya

 

noooooooo!
i'm feak and weeble when it comes to dares and always have to take the challenge!
*throws weak, feeble self to floor and sobs, while planning vertical draught excluder*

 

Have you sold the sausage dogs then

 

yes... still need to make myself one for the front door... to coordinate with the tweed door curtain that i've also still to make

 

Good

 

hmm, maybe i'll start super bump interlined door curtain tomorrow...
About time the vestibule was finally finished

 

oh barney, i can't lie to you.... i sold one but t'other is a christmas pressie for a friend who said he'd buy one from me as he want a nice one. i lied to him and said i'd sold them so that i can give him it as an xmas pressie

i may not be very good at this money exchanging stuff

 

But that's a nice, thoughtfull reason.

 

Def put some eyes on and waggy tail then , he a be so chuffed

 

House has come to a standstill (again). Life, poorliness, plotting and scheming and bus have taken precedence.
Anyhoo, have you ever looked on the current visitors ‘guests’ bit? You can see what threads are being viewed by guests.... and it digs up some old gems sometimes. I found this of my cargo floor on an insulation and sound deadening thread.
This is what it looked like in 2012. Under the o/s middle window (and under the floor) is where the bus now needs some work. Obviously some proper poking and excavation is needed first *gulp*

I’m back! But this time with no winter lurgy, a renewed vigour and a fabulous tan!

After Xmas a friend of mine gave me an old (1940s?) room sized wool Wilton rug. It is almost as big as the living room and so does hold off the living room floor decisions at least for a little while, it also took two strapping blokes to carry it. Which meant that there was no way I could hoik it out of the house to give it a good beating.

Still feeling poorly I managed to give it a good hoover and get it down. But I wasn’t happy that if not managed to clean it. I love old stuff but have to give it a good clean up first.

So rather than going out tonight (it’s freezing out there!) I decided to get the bugger cleaned.

I’ve so far managed about three square metres and many more to go.


After the first vax empty I realised this wasn’t going to be a quick clean. Ewwwww!


And as always in this tiny house, I’m doing the good old furniture shuffle!
