The House That Laura Ashley Built

It would appear that the previous occupants of our field with a house in the corner, were obsessed with Laura Ashley chintz. If the company made it they bought it, however as we are unpicking we are finding all design and no substance.

In the latest investigation (post “Aisource Heat Pump” Gate), we have changed out the 3 Arc spotlights on the side of the house (these took 4 hours to warm up and could then be seen from Mars) these have been replaced with something a little more respectable and less nuclear power plant intense. On changing one of the lights, we have found this is wired directly into the mains, no switch and no easy way to disable it either, since you can’t trace where the power comes from, however despite this we have a solution as ever. But this isn’t the reason for this latest blog, no you see whilst hunting high and low (sounds like an 80s song from Aha) looking for the power source we decided to look above the cooker extractor, just in case, and sometimes really wish we hadn’t

Yup all that extracted smoke and air doesn’t actually vent outside since Mr and Mrs Laura Ashley didn’t actually bother to get the extractor hooked up. Again another challenge since it is behind this bespoke designer unit which will all need to come out

So that’s the next challenge, can’t wait to unearth the next item, oh that’s right we have, we need to replace the garage roof which appears to be made of a porous material, hey ho at least it looks pretty.
