Conservatory: Finished!
Finally! Apart from some shelves and small bits and pieces the conservatory is now finished! It took us longer than I thought it would but actually cost MUCH less than we'd budgeted for so we're quite chuffed to say the least. ;-)
And this is how it looked to begin with.......!

Rhapsody In Rock - Divas, Båstad
Great stuff!! We've had such a fantastic time this evening and definately recommend Rhapsody In Rock to anyone who hasn't yet been to see it!
Rhapsody In Rock- Divas, Båstad
Charlotte Perelli, Jessica Andersson, LaGaylia Frazier & Sofia Källgren rock Centre Court. Great music,great weather and great company :-D
"Out on the line like a star like a hero....!" Charlotte performs Sweden's 2008 Eurovision entry. It should have done better!
Jessica Andersson looking as stunning as ever ;-)
Rhapsody In Rock - Divas, Båstad
It's gonna be a great concert with some of our favourite Swedish artists and Robert Wells
Conservatory: Almost finished!
The floor is almost finished and has been a bloody nightmare because the base wasn't level to start with. So after much packing and levelling and swearing (lots of swearing!) we've got the laminate 98% stable and secure over the whole floor. Now we've given up for the day because the temperature has soared to over 30 deg in there.

Conservatory- Shaping up!
Cracking on with the wallpaper and paint. The steps are now painted and the renovation wallpaper is up and can now be painted too.
And now the paint has been slapped on and the steps have gotten their final coat. Great stuff!

Conservatory: Still at it!
Levelling the floor as best as I can to take out the worst dips and irregularities. And yes, I do have a huge hole in my jeans but I am wearing underwear!!! ;-))
Meanwhile, Christel has been painting and has done a fantastic job! ;-D

Plasterboards and insulation
Finally things are starting to take shape (meaning the wall, not me unfortunately!)
Et voilà!! How's that for precision! I'll do the plastering this evening.
Not forgetting the outside panelling though, which is now painted. MUCH better than the plastic crap that was there before! :-D Don't forget, we take cash and cheques and give free estimates...hehehe! ;-)))

My new toy
A Clicgear golf cart. How exciting!!!! My old trolley "broke" (ahem) during a golf match last Sunday. Worth every hard-earned Swedish crown!

Fixing the conservatory
We spent all of yesterday in soaring heat pulling down the old plastic covering that was supposed to be a wall and are now constructing a proper wood panel wall with a proper concrete base, which has now set nicely! ;-)))
By the way, mixing concrete by hand is not recommended....!!
