Busy time

sorty I have been absent a few days. So much to do just now.
Have cleared the spare bedroom ready to renovate. Today I will stain the beams. We have decided to build in a cupboard on the end wall as it is rough granite stone and has half the chimney breast on it. We will insulate and plaster board the whole wall then build a cupboard across it. The walls are wonky so this is the easiest way to deal with it. Once I have done the beams P will start the framing out.
We found a beautiful old second hand bed for £45 that has an almost new good mattress. It has a tapestry head and foot. The colours are pink and green which will dictate the cloud of the room. The bed frame is wood. We want to get the room done for P's brother and wife who are coming over in June for a week. Once the cupboard is done we will put down a laminate floor. Then need to make a windowsill and paint the whole room. I think I will do it white as this goes well with the dark oak beams. I will make curtains for the dormer window. I am very excited about doing this.
Meanwhile in the garden...we are going to fence an area for the dogs. This means I need to move my two muck heaps. That has been started and I want to get it finished today. Seeds are sprouting now so a small daily weed is needed. The red onions are sprouting too.
I have 7 eggs in an incubator having thought there would be no chicks this year. They are due to hatch this week and on Monday a hen went broody! I do not know how many eggs she is sitting on. Mrs Goose spent all yesterday sitting on her eggs but got off again this morning. I am leaving her to it.
Weather is all over the place so it is upsetting the nesting.
Am off to start work!
