228 The Strand


Ok Guys, for those of you who have been here, you'll have a fair idea of the place, but for all you regular readers who are wondering where the bar is in my house, this rough plan will give you an idea.

The garden is the front of the house, and the bar (complete with hammock and beer fridge) is out the back. Its a detatched house so there are paths on both sides of the gaff. The laundry is also the brewery. The lounge (or as we call it, the green room) is a nice social area between the eating area in the kitchen and the bar. The cinema is our poshest room, nice and tidy, not much clutter, and when the cinema is not active you would not even know it was there so its a nice quiet room for reading a book or music practicing (for Jane not me, I dont believe in practice).

The bathroom and the toilet (WC) are two seperate rooms, which makes sense when you think about it. The study, is where the computer is and also now functions as the spare bedroom (getting a sofabed/futon this weekend).

The roof extends over the veranda and we have a nice big tree in the garden which provides ample shade. A nice red-sandstone path seperates the garden from the driveway.

We have plans to extend the lounge out into the bar, and extend the study area out too and make it into a larger second bedroom. We want to put in another bathroom somwhere and also go up a floor. I am going to insulate the shed and put my homebrew operation out into that. Posted by Picasa
