New Dadaist House - Photos

Well, we've started along the road to renovation at Dadaist Towers. Here are a few snaps from today when we first ventured into the attic, and took neo-Dadaist on the first of many trips to our new Mecca - B&Q.....

Transco have now connected us to a supply of North Sea Gas :

A view of the skylight in our attic :

A previous occupant of our home, now deceased :

A mysterious find amongst the attic's detritus ...

We also found these old blazers in a trunk - PHS / Heriots / Watsons?

B&Q have a fantastic range of garden ornaments, almost as good as Dobbies ...

Our garden. If anyone out there is a Vietnam vet with some defoliant left over, please give me a call....

Ahem! Who never set foot in the garden at Marlborough Street? Have you suddenly has a brain swap with Alan Titchmarsh? :roll:

Tip: water your grass with whisky and it'll come up half cut........(sorry)

But rewiring's not nearly as much fun as taking the old lead tank out

They really did build them to last, and the best bit is the half a ton of crap which is at the bottom of it falling on your head and the realisation that - yes, people did drink out of that very tank :shock:

(tip: we got Ã‚Â£25 for ours from the scrappy)

Epykat, you'll remember that the last time you came to visit us oyrs sprung a leak. It turned out that it was too big for the loft hatch (must have been built in before the roof was put on, so it's still up there next to the new tank. Useful for keeping those boxes that things come in and you daren't get rid off in case you need them when you next move.

Don't encourage her Epykat - she's a naughty Fox.

Dadaist and Beach Babe

How did the work go in the house today? Well I hope.

thanks for asking Sandra

we popped by this morning with the bathroom tiles to find the place a hive of activity but looking a bit scary :shock:

floor boards up everywhere, the place a complete mess but I'm sure it's all progress

I've decided that the best course of action is to forget about it all for the time being :shock:

Another shop to be recommended! We got ours from there and the service was brilliant - as is the fireplace.
