Busy few months .

window restoration work more work on the cart shed front exterior and internal floors and ceilings .

Plenty of timber sales oak chestnut and sycamore all small quantities .

A few small furniture jobs shelves and chair repairs .

Had a very kind offer from James Brett to empty his restoration workshop of a large quantity of restoration timbers and Antique furniture components.

So now have a large quanity of mahogany oak and walnut timbers and components from the  18th century onwards.

Next few months.

A kitchen . two sash window jods, victorian pine floor restoration and hopefully some sunshine and time out for some wild swimming .

Here comes the summer !!

First three months completed.

Such a cold few months , outside work involved window restoration, when the temperature was over 8 oc, not many days then. New roof timbers on an old cart shed , again very cold but no glue required so work at all temperatures!

Workshop work involved machining up various window components, making of some interior shelves, doors and flooring.

So forward to the next three months , hopefully warmer and able to catch up with all the exterior work .

Final day completed ,

Great year of work . really enjoyed all the site work especially the sash window restorations. A real change from being full time in the workshop,

Thanks to all my customers, whom without exception have been a joy to work for.

So the year ahead.

Plan A  a couple  more kitchens to make in the year ahead

Plan B move my Timber Business

Plan C continue with the Restoration

Plan D do some voluntary restoration work on St marys church Houghton on the hill .

Happy new year
