Stage One of Outhouse to Studio Conversion Completed

In the first of what I am sure will be many, many stages the inital preparations of scraping off flaky paint (probably ancient lead-toxic) from rafters and perlins then brushing and hoovering these was completed today:

The aim is to convert our outhouse into a studio/office where I will be free to draw and create to my heart's content all things Garden Design.

Oh, if you are wondering yes there was one huge spider and many small ones and I am not a spider fan!

Large cobwebs were therefore sucked up but I bet the spiders are still lurking!

Stage Two begins tomorrow morning with the treating of the timbers with woodworm killer/wood preservative.  Check back soon to see if I survive.
