Another update just to let people know that I'm not just sitting on my arse here doing nothing...I am trying my best to get back sewing again.
I've finally been able to clear the attic in the new flat.
I had to move 28 bikes in boxes down the stairs, and round several annoyingly tight corners...and these were heavy bikes. Then moved boxes and boxes of tyres, saddles, cages etc. Removed hundreds of screws, nails, wall brackets, shelves, random timber constructions. etc, etc
This is basically where I am now.
There have been further delays waiting for somebody to come and check the old boiler to make sure it's safe to remove...and as you can see, the skylight is fucked and been leaking.
I just had the all clear to remove the boiler, and the roofer will be taking out the old skylight and fitting a new Velux...but unfortunately not for 3-4 weeks.
In the meantime though I will be decorating as much as I can do, and will hopefully still be able to go ahead with the design and construction of all the new tables and benches.
It's been a really stressful few weeks since moving here as all my stuff is spread all over the kitchen as I needed the spare bedroom for my dad's stock. My sewing machines are still down in the bike shop as I have nowhere to put them where they wont hinder further progression of the new bagcave.
I'm hoping to have everything ready for when the new Velux goes in so that I can then just finish that side of the workshop and finally start sewing again.
I sincerely apologize for the huge delays this move has caused. I'm just hoping it will be worth it in the long run and I haven't made a bigger mistake by moving. :[
