Thinking about shopping

So the latest update. Things on site are still moving along a lot of underground work has gone on pipes, wires and other such things. We have taken down some of the hedge and trees on one side at the front of the site to run the pipes underneath.

The lads have been insulating our homes over the weekend. Hopefully this will be keeping us toasty warm next winter and saving us lots of money on the central heating. I am really looking forward to the laying of the under floor heating system and from the research I’ve done its eco-friendly and energy saving. So more money for shopping I think!


Talking about shopping, it seems to be all I can think about, but I keep getting told I cannot buy any furniture until we have a house to put it in. So I have been researching key essentials that will be needed before we move in. We are hoping to have pocket doors between the kitchen diner and lounge.


What is a pocket door? - A pocket door is a system of building a counter frame which is then integrated with stud wall construction, either timber or metal. The pocket door counter frame creates an envelope the same width as the finished wall for the door to slide into, thus hiding the door within the wall cavity.


So during my research project about pocket doors I found loads of nice pictures and expensive prices! Coming from a sci-fi loving family the best had to be Star Trek pocket doors the clip I found on You Tube which was great. Think we will be opting for the regular kind though that you push into the wall yourself.
