Hi Blubes
It's completely normal to be nervous about having a stranger live with you.
If you were all 'whatever' about it, I'd be worried! lol.
You're aware and that's good.
You never know, HE could be very nervous too! Worrying about messing your nice WHITE furniture and walls lol... but he did a respectful thing and refused to sit down in his grubs.
Good. Noice.
I just want locks on your bedrooms doors lol... just your ecomama sayin' an all.
Aha! Yes a mud room! aren't they freaking awesome?
Love 'em. With all my grubby garden work, steel capped boots covered in Lord knows what, a mud room would be great for me / us.
I wanted one even before I met my American bf.
We already have a bathroom downstairs, a chuck together by a previous owner...not shabby chic just shabby lol! But that's fine.
Bf being a super clean, neat freak, Engineer type means that a mud room is more important, keeping the grubby stuff away from the electronics stuff.
My "Glass Room" is just what I called it. It's the work I'm doing with Uncle if I can restrain him to ONLY that phew. Hard.
So at the back (and one side) of the house it's 2 storeys. Underneath our top storey, very shabby loungeroom lol. It used to be held up by steel posts but demon took them away (to make it fall down).
Anyway it's a porch down there and VERY cool to be in during Summer. It's also right near a huge Italian like outdoor oven, so lovely.
Uncle and I decided to enclose this porch on the 2 open sides. Downstairs bedrooms are next to it.
Uncle has a wide sliding glass door and glass panels to give us.
That will go at the front with glass louvre windows at each end.
The other side now has panels of blueboard making a wall.
We'll keep the middle panel as a wall to give SOME privacy from the nosey neighbours.
Then have glass louvre windows on each end of that wall too.
So there's a lot of glass, hence the Glass Room lol.
Outside the partly walled wall is a path and the metal fence.
I might grow a "Green Living Wall" against that fence but I think Council Laws prevent me from attaching it to my fence IDK, I'll find out later.
It's shady so really nice for ferns etc.
I'd rather plants than metal!
No biggie atm.
I've been in a hurry to get stuff done because the place is a total shambles because of demon.
I seldom ever have friends over but the ones who do visit are very polite LOL...
I'm not even comfortable at all with this mess.
Now we're building & changing rooms... ugh.
Love EM
