Seeing this little ‘rustic’ outdoor area on a blog recently
brought back all sorts of memories of the time (a few years ago now) I asked The Golfer if he’d build me a little summer house (to use in the winter)
What I had in mind was something like this 👇 – maybe not so large- but light and airy so I could enjoy our winter sunshine and not be cooped up indoors
‘Let me think about it’ was all I got
A week later it changed to ‘won’t be anywhere near that size and definitely not made from new doors & windows!’.
Then he asked ‘does it have to have closing doors?’
*****
Then he asked if I knew anyone doing home renovations- changing doors or even windows- demolishing an old house even – sorry no
OK I’ll call into some builders yards – you know those salvage yards where they sell all that second hand stuff.
No such thing as ‘looking online’ then
*****
Then it was ‘do they all have to match??’
What about something like this – describing a sitting area like these below .
‘Interesting’ I said, seeing my ‘dream’ diminish
Out came a quick sketch of something much smaller, plus ‘all we need is four doors, a bit of wood for the roof and maybe a pallet for the floor’.
But you might be waiting a bit because
have you seen the price of second hand doors and windows ???
Needless to say I never did get my little summer house😎.
