What
could be more complicated, working out how to vaccinate 30 million people or
trying to figure out how to fit the contents of two bedrooms into an already
overcrowded lounge? Yet this is the
conundrum faced by everyone embarking on a property refurbishment – where the
hell to put all your stuff whilst you’ve got the plasterers in. Hmmm, tricky.
|
Where to put it all? |
After
weeks of soliciting tradespeople, poring over estimates and mathematical
computations that would leave Einstein totally confused, it’s time to throw the
champagne bottle at the renovations ship and launch phase I of our Tart Up
project.

Taking the old coving off the ceiling |

Stripping out wardrobes |

Clearing out airing cupboard |
So,
what does Project Tart Up look like?
Imagine a very wrinkly tortoise going to a beauty parlour, the
transformation would be like a hairy caterpillar turning into a butterfly so
will it be with our crack-ridden, dilapidated bungalow.

An
open plan lifestyle beckons for the next few months as the refurbishment of the
upstairs bedrooms is finally only a week away.
From next week our lounge/diner/bedroom will be the centre of our
disordered universe.
