It's what dreams are made of and nightmares kindled: Most home owners aspire to it; some take a few tentative steps and fewer still are crazy enough to go the full hog! This blog shares some of the trials and tribulations of a major redevelopment of a 1950s home through a cataclysmic transformation which retains the best of the last Century while metamorposing the property into a design classic fit for today's living.

New balustrade arrives


The glass balustrade has finally been delivered. True to form, the guys have installed the new glass, however, it will have to be removed soon as the screws for the brackets are incorrect. Without bigger screws, the stuff is likely to pop out and crash down the stair, onto the hall floor. Total weight of each sheet of glass is just under 100kg. So it's a good idea to have it done properly. The screws have been on order for three weeks and if previous performance is anything to go by, it may take another couple. Alternatively, I could pop down to the local DIY shed to pick up a few packs.
