PMT CUPCAKES:
In April 2010 we looked at this
PMT CUPCAKES:
A tired poorly mess of a shop
PMT CUPCAKES:
Damp everywhere
PMT CUPCAKES:
plaster falling from the walls, ceiling...
PMT CUPCAKES:
High ceilings though....
PMT CUPCAKES:
where there was a ceiling that is
PMT CUPCAKES:
spacious witha wide shop front
PMT CUPCAKES:
Lots of light....
PMT CUPCAKES:
eugh! cracked Loo.
PMT CUPCAKES:
and damp so bad it was right through the wall
PMT CUPCAKES:
and waterlnot draining away
PMT CUPCAKES:
blocked drains
PMT CUPCAKES:
and an overgrown rear entrance
PMT CUPCAKES:
but it had potential.
PMT CUPCAKES:
and finally in February 2011 work started
PMT CUPCAKES:
Parts that we hadn't really noticed began to get us thinking
PMT CUPCAKES:
as the layers were stripped away it looked even more light and spacious
PMT CUPCAKES:
It was exciting but scary for all of us.
PMT CUPCAKES:
The kitchenette gone
PMT CUPCAKES:
All the exterior walls were tanked with concrete and a waterproof sealant
PMT CUPCAKES:
and the only wall not damp made good
PMT CUPCAKES:
it was a lot of concrete
PMT CUPCAKES:
hmmm windows would look nice
PMT CUPCAKES:
whoo hoo plaster on the walls
PMT CUPCAKES:
felt like we were getting somewhere
PMT CUPCAKES:
but not quite as far in other areas - no Loo now, just a hole in the floor :-/
PMT CUPCAKES:
That will one day be my kitchen
PMT CUPCAKES:
and that my office area and clenaing store
