We upped sticks and moved hours away from home (and we’re not the best at keeping up to date with social communication either), so for friends and family, clients, colleagues and peers, we began documenting the project and sharing updates on a platform we know well, YouTube.

The algorithm really likes to throw our videos out to negative nellys at times, and we don’t have the spare energy for that drama right now, so taking a mini break was the best option which also allowed Jess to catch up on work. Since then, she’s been slammed, so the updates are kept as written ones each month.

Therefore, this space here exists to bridge the gap. Enjoy the good, the bad and the ugly. This is a very real mammoth renovation project – it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
