Let him eat cake!

MOTH's reward!

Progress being made by the Man-of-the-House

This is definitely a work-in-progress!


As well documented in this blog, our current project is a major re-do of the dark cavern that masquerades as our upper level hallway! The Man-of-the-House (MOTH) worked very hard all weekend putting up framework & new plasterboard to give the area a new ceiling. With only one small fitting to light the entire length of the hallway when we bought the house, we've just about had to wear miner's lamps on our heads each time we needed to go up there. And to think that it had been like that for 36 years beggars belief!!


So by lowering the ceiling slightly, we now have enough clearance to put a row of down-lights along the corridor (previous raked ceilings disallowed this) - so we will have light like other normal people! Due to the MOTH's last off-the-scale cholesterol count, cake has been banned from his diet, but as reward for all his efforts I cooked up a Pound Cake with a recipe borrowed from the wonderful SUNDAY BAKER. Thanks Tanya, it was delicious & he loved it! Think this will be impetus for more Hallway work from him next weekend.
