Fixing up the basement.


My 'studio' down in the basement was in need of some serious re-build. It's basically falling apart around me and so I decided to undertake the rather long and tiring job of fixing it up.

It needs a lot of re-plastering, especially on the ceiling, which regularly falls on your head when you are in there.

The added problem is the masses of junk that I have to work with. Some of it's lovely, but it's a bit too much at times.....






Stage one (the hardest stage) Getting Frog to sort out some of his junk! Believe it or not, he had almost finished at this photo.

I uncovered some real problems along the way. Today part of the top edge fell away! My dad suggested a bit of bespoke wood, then a few coats of plaster.

Ideally, I would like to plaster the whole wall flat, but I don't think we have the budget for it. For now I'm just filling in the really big holes!


Getting there! This is the entrance / stairway, It needs some tidying up, but this parts more or less done.
I might construct a new bannister at some point.
