The wall is up, and it has stayed up.
This time they put it up in two halves, first the bottom, then the top ... not side by side halves or top then bottom!! 😄
This is the reverse of the same wall.
I bet you come to visit my blog for these riveting photos don't you, I am more than happy to oblige. 😁
Here, have a bonus photo, the planned layout for the battening that Alan will be putting up on the inside of all the exterior walls of the bungalow over the course of the next couple of weeks. This will have the extra insulation in each of the spaces before being plaster boarded over.
We are doing this to raise the EPC rating as the bungalow had quite a low one to start with. Hopefully by the time we are finished it will be much improved, even at the expense of the room sizes. What with all this lining, and walls going up the space inside will be shrinking very quickly.
Alan will have to follow my lead and learn to live smaller.
I've been enjoying the pack of salmon that I bought over the Easter weekend.
I've eaten it differently each time. This photo shows it as part of a quiche, served with roasted sweet potato mini wedges. Yes, all the pastry edges of my quiche fell off when I was getting it out of the tray ...not that that matters in the slightest.
Pastry is pastry is pastry and I love pastry. 💖
II had one portion of the salmon with leftover rice, peas and spinach.
One portion was had as that lunchtime salmon bun I showed on the last post, and the final one was served with a simple bowl of the roasted vegetables ... and a rather large dollop of mayo. So tasty, and it's really handy to have something in the fridge that gives you inspiration for simple but healthy meals isn't it.
Renovations and rice, you never know what I will be writing about next ... and neither do I. 😁

I love salmon too.. exciting news about the progress of your new home.
ReplyDeleteIt's all coming together, the food quicker than the bungalow. 😄
DeleteIt’ll be good to see it fully furnished and ‘warm and cosy’ instead of concrete grey and cold. Has there been any change to your moving in date ‘by Christmas’
ReplyDeleteNo change at all, that is our 'optimistic date'. Our first projection was next March. 😄
DeleteWe insulated the workshop in between the wooden battens. It really makes a significant difference, definitely money well spent.
ReplyDeleteWe were originally thinking of insulating on the outside of the bungalow to keep the interior square footage intact, but that came in at a cost of over £9k, this interior method is less than a quarter of that price. It will be worth it in the long run.
DeleteI for one love those sort of photos. I am enjoying seeing the progress.
ReplyDeleteI think I have turned into the most random of bloggers over the years. I think I keep all of my readers happy ... some of the time ... when their favourite bits pop up. ;-)
DeleteIt's good to see progress.
ReplyDeleteIt really is, I'm loving stepping in and seeing another large or small job actually accomplished.
DeleteIt’s great to see your new place progressing.
ReplyDeletePastry - I love it, no wonder I struggle to shift the extra poundage 😆

Pastry just elevates everything doesn't it. 😀
DeleteI love leftovers 😋 it's always good to have tasty food with minimum effort.
ReplyDeleteThe insulation sounds great. Are you having triple glazing?
I love it when I have a fridge full of tubs of leftovers to play with. 🙂
DeleteNo we are just having double glazing, we thought of triple but it sort of defeats the object when I nearly always have windows open. I love fresh air, especially in the bedroom overnight.
Leftovers just mean a break from the kitchen and I am all for that! I added salmon to my grocery list for next week. Not sure yet how I will fix it, probably very simple.
ReplyDeleteSalmon is just so versatile isn't it. I usually cook multiple fillets with different toppings, pesto, tomato paste, garlic etc. But this time I had just cooked it plain, it was still really tasty. 😀.
DeleteI've made that same salmon-rice-peas dish before!
ReplyDeleteIt's a regular for us, it's just so simple but well balanced isn't it. 🙂
DeleteAll for leftovers for meals. I have never thought of putting salmon in a quiche. I must try that next time.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It just adds a subtle flavour and a lovely texture. 🙂
