I think I was lulled into a false sense of security ! All was going swimmingly ..... not much dust and walls going up. Then came the moving of the boiler 😱 I don't know if this is of any interest but, hang on in there .... there are pretty pictures of the new Orangery { I'm calling it an Orangery as that is what the company who are building it are calling it !} at the end .....
It has been a major task ! .....
So many pipes to move but, they only have the gas pipes to deal with so they should be finished with that job today.
The Company making ' The Orangery " sent me a video yesterday of it being built but it wouldn't upload. Maybe it's the mp4 format ..... I don't think it's too big. I tried filming the video on my phone but that didn't work either so, I have taken some screen shots to show you.
It still has to be painted but it's nearly finished.
Didn't have anything to cook on last night so we had take away ..... it arrived stone cold ! We ate it though !
Will be back with the next chapter.

If it's not already too late, do remember to put some old newspapers under the floorboards, some of The Queen's funeral would be good.
ReplyDeleteThe Orangery looks very chic. It will look wonderful.
I will do that Cro. In our 17th century cottage, we found all sorts of things and here we found newspapers, senior service cigarette packets and other stuff under the floorboards. XXXX
DeleteI would love an orangery at the back of our house. They look great and serve the family well.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the ' looking great ' part Hels ! I loved our old conservatory but, it had had it's day. Time to bring in the new ! XXXX
DeleteWow, dear Jackie, that looks great! And to have an orangery of one's own: luxury! It will be worth all the trouble and chaos now. XXXX
ReplyDeleteIt does look nice doesn't it Britta ? Hopefully, it will all come together in the New Year ! I'm afraid we have to go through the chaos to get the final, lovely result ! XXXX
DeleteIt is looking good quality work and should be a great success. I was thinking whilst sitting outside in my suntrap back yard this week that an Orangery would do just fine.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to jinx it but it does look good. Maybe you should invest in an Orangery as well Rachel !!! XXXX
DeleteOoh Jackie. My little OCD heart is going pitter patter at those messy-work-in-progress photos.
ReplyDeleteYour Orangery is looking very good. I can't wait to see the finished article. XXX
It has really got messy JayCee and, he just told me that the pump and the fan have gone on the boiler so we have no hot water over the weekend ! Apparently, boilers don't like being moved ! My mantra is that it will all be worth it ! XXXX
DeleteOutstanding! The construction is moving forward quickly. I love the architecture of your Orangery. Your new sun filled space will be spectacular.
ReplyDeleteIt's coming on isn't it Susan? Mind you, we started organising all this in November 2021 so it's been quite a long wait ! We really liked our old conservatory but I think this will be so much nicer and far warmer as well. XXXX
ReplyDeleteI repeat - you are brave
ReplyDeleteSo far, it's not been too bad Z ..... It's a bit dirty when the builders go home so I just wash all the floors and dust a bit !!! They are knocking down the wall that goes into the kitchen at the moment so it could be a bit dirty today !!! XXXX
DeleteOh, Jackie, your orangerie is going to be so pretty!! I'm just averting my gaze from the ripping up the floor bit - it's a bit hard to take with my morning tea in bed, hahahah!!! xx
ReplyDeleteWhen we first thought of doing this, we looked at all the pipework and nearly said we wouldn't do it but, it's not been too bad so far. We had the weekend without hot water & heating but, being a child in the 1950's we lived without central heating so a few days without it was OK. They are coming back today to finish the boiler. The kitchen floor is like something from a horror DIY show Pip but I just keep saying to myself it will be lovely when its finished !!! XXXX
DeleteWowwww wowww wowwww …I can’t wait till it is finished…good luck..🍀🙏🍀💗🐾
