Roof Update: wall now cleared in the main. We did find a lot of sand and rubble behind the lathe. It is likely that this was causing our damp problems - acting as a wick between the stone wall and the lathe and plaster interior. #HouseRestoration #StormAmy #Damp

2/3 The lathe came off quite easily but was very messy coming down. And our arms ache! I get extra points for doing a stint while OH watched the rugby. I am sure that is why Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 won!

What’s 3/3? 🤔

😁

@ColesStreetPothole oh had a dram and forgot!!

@Janet_52square That sounds like 3/3 to me. 😂

@ColesStreetPothole @Janet_52square
i was just about to reply and say that i do love the rhythm and pull of a good waltz and then realised that's probably not what you meant 😂

but also, goodness me, you've been busy janet. well done for the problem solving! is the roof all ok now?

@moonrabbit @ColesStreetPothole I like to waltz - I like ballroom dancing tbh. I might like it better than stripping out my bedroom 🙄

@Janet_52square @ColesStreetPothole

how much more have you got to do before you can put it back again (well i mean not back how it was with the damp and all ... you know what i mean!)

And, if you're going to wall it back up with some space behind it, will you leave a time capsule/message in a bottle for the *next* folks who open up the wall? 😁

@ColesStreetPothole @Janet_52square
just something like "i feel your pain" 😂

[reads note...]
"Ain't homeownership a bitch? Love, Janet"

@ColesStreetPothole @moonrabbit The time for doing this is now. I’m on it. Inside the sealed cavity behind the drawers in my miniature desk is a note in tiny pencil handwriting that reads ‘Janet me fecit’ that will only ever been seen again if the desk is taken apart in its entirety. The true Scots term for someone who does things like this is ‘wanker’.

@Janet_52square @ColesStreetPothole
i love this so much. both the tiny room (the detail is amazing, and that desk!

and the tiny wee lampshade toooooo)
and the note and all. ooooh you could leave something in the big wall that leads to something in the little wall ... (and drive future people utterly mad)

@moonrabbit @ColesStreetPothole Starts to plan a room box of the bedroom in 1/12 scale to wall up in bedroom wall forever… 🙄

@Janet_52square @ColesStreetPothole
ah no don't wall it up in the same place, make them hunt for it! 😂 they'll be soooo grateful that it'll *totally* be worth your time now.

@moonrabbit @ColesStreetPothole Begins mapping maze complex…

A lady at Miniature Club is making a sort of Book nook, but it'll just be a miniature book shelf that sits between two of her books. I suggested that the miniature bookshelf needs a miniaturer one between two of the books and so on....

Perhaps a miniature bedroom, with one stripped wall, and in that wall a miniature bedroom with one stripped wall......

@suearcher @moonrabbit @ColesStreetPothole Adds more research to the project!

@suearcher @Janet_52square @ColesStreetPothole
ooooh. if something like that happened, janet would need to offer tours really. or at least make a yt video!

@Janet_52square @ColesStreetPothole
you could make a tiny minotaur

😂

@moonrabbit @Janet_52square With a tea set! 😂

@ColesStreetPothole @Janet_52square
ooh now i want to make a tiny tiny tea set! (until i actually start trying to 😂)

@Janet_52square @moonrabbit For some reason I am reminded of this movie....

@Janet_52square @moonrabbit 😂 Of course you did.

Spouse is admiring your tiny room. 🙂 We are both very impressed.

EDIT: OMG, there's a book under the divan.
