e you see one of the doors glued under
the stairwell.
This will "lead" into Uncle Mort’s work‐
shop otherwise known as the Orangery! I
will fix the other door to the back of the
house in the same position inside the
workshop and it will appear that it opens.
Unfortunately I didn’t notice that this door
was glued on upside down until it was
too late to do anything about it.
One thing this project shows though is
that we all make silly mistakes and in the end they just add to the charm and individuality of our houses!
The tradesman’s entrance will open into this tiny passage way through which the tradesmen would be
able to deliver goods directly into the workshop.
The next bit I nvolved 2 days and much huffing and puffing and tea drinking! I put my newly filled wall
into place and arranged the shop shelves to fit then measured up a back wall to go across the corner
which in turn was glued to the back of the right hand corner shelf.
With some ( well okay.... lots....) sanding and numerous trials for size I ended up with a wall that fit
perfectly into the shop and permanently attached shop shelves which you can see I painted antique
white. I filled in the gaps and added a little decorative trim that covered the join and strengthened the
whole wall.
