<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">I wanted an old fashioned one but did not want to pay too much after all its only for heating up soup and such when we are gardening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Billy went to our local auction rooms and got this for £15 bargain ,not the best of pictures as billy has cluttered up in front of it,but it isint wired up yet so i will take better photo then.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this barn door as the top opens and you can keep the bottom closed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It now needs a sand ,undercoat and a top coat of paint.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not sure which colour to choosei am thinking maybe Pillar Box Red and then all the handles etc black</span>I LOVE FRANCEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09546409282149766970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589935589567201189.post-14885631724038305712009-11-20T18:09:00.001+00:002009-11-20T18:11:43.237+00:00THE GARAGE<span style="font-size: large;">Now that Billy has retired early i have decided to make use of all the spare time he has lol.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always wanted the garage which is seperate from the house turned into a little garden room,where i can make a cup of tea when gardening,do some sewing and do all my washing and ironing .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So work is progressing at a great pace,in fact he hasent stopped working on it from september.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Went to auction and got windows cheap,dad has given us two of his old doors also bought lights from the auction too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Our old multi fuel burner is out there and flue all up and working.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plaster boarding done,now that all sounds great dosent it but this is amidst all the rubbish that is still in there ready to be sorted dumped or recycled into something else.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The garage door is going to be split and a roof made out of it for my shed as i love to hear the rain fall on a tinny style roof.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Waste not want not is my motto </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is photos of work in progress, i really wish they were the finished ones but this will take a little bit more time.</span><br />
