WHAT A WEEK 🌬πŸ₯Ά

This is my face after a week of shifting stone, climbing on a roof and being battered by the wind. Rosy cheeked, tired and windswept but still smiling (just!) πŸ˜… It's been a busy one, but I love it!

If you need me, I'll be wrapped up in a blanket for the weekend, catching up on paperwork and keeping warm ☺️ (with a possibility of work tomorrow if the weather is good πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! πŸ₯³πŸ₯‚

This little video is from a couple of days ago at a roofing job, I didn't realise it at the time, but I feel like it's a good representation of this past year πŸ˜…

I'm trying to keep a level head whilst carrying work gear in one hand, personal items in the other and being laughed at/supported by friends - Literally 2022 in a nutshell πŸ˜‚

Wishing you all the best for the new year, I hope it's a good one and thanks so much for all the support over 2022!

TUBS & TILES πŸ›πŸ”¨

Who needs rubble bags when you have a conveniently placed bath? 😏

Actually, it turns out adding weight to a 130kg bath you're about to shift down a flight of stairs, isn't ideal πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

It's not finished, but it's definitely getting there!

Oh hi! πŸ‘‹ Yes, still here, doing my thing, working hard and as busy as ever πŸ˜…

I took an unplanned break from posting on here, mostly because I was just too busy doing the actual work to take any photos or do any posts about it πŸ₯΄πŸ˜‚

But here I am, just checking in, to let those who are wondering know that I'm still going! πŸ’ͺ🏻

But for those that might want to know, this is a photo from last week when I was prepping the floor in a cupboard under the stairs ready for staining and oiling 😊

NOT HALF HEARTHED ❀πŸ”₯

A good morning spent getting the hearth sorted for a fireplace πŸ’ͺ🏻

I don't normally work weekends, but when needs must, I'll be there and may even rope in some friends (or family - thanks Dad for taking the photo!) πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜…

THOUGH SHE BE BUT LITTLE, SHE IS FIERCE 😍πŸ’ͺ🏻 (The sander that is!)

I honestly cannot express how much I love and appreciate this floor sander at the moment πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

That's it for now, I just felt the need to share that with the world.

LITTLE BY LITTLE ⛏

A fireplace before and after for you! It takes time, but picking and pointing can make such a difference 😍 I can't wait to see it completely finished!

I seem to be in the minority when I say I enjoy pointing πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ It's not the most exciting of things to do, but I just plug into a podcast (I highly recommend but especially one called "You're dead to me" πŸ€“) and suddenly it's done!
Satisfying and relaxing (almost!)

PAINTING THE TOWN... BLUE πŸ”΅πŸ˜

Another successful trip out to Westray! With lots of sanding, painting and trying not to get distracted by the dogs πŸ˜… (I really must get round to doing that pet appreciation post!)

It's the first time in ages I've painted a wall something other than white or magnolia, but was a lovely change and was great to see!

No before and after pictures I'm afraid, but here's a photo of me standing up a ladder... Again! πŸ₯³πŸ˜‚

KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR πŸšͺ🚽😍

Normally I wouldn't be so excited to be sanding a door, but this particular one is for the bathroom in the house I've been part of renovating for nearly a year. So excluding the first couple of months, there's not been a functioning toilet and I've had to improvise πŸͺ£πŸ˜±πŸ˜‚

Needless to say, having a proper toilet at work (that even has a door!) is going to be such a treat! What can I say, it's the simple things πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

🌟ONE YEAR DOWN🌟

Turns out today it's Happy to Help's anniversary! Woohoo! πŸ₯³πŸ₯‚

So I'm going to take this as an opportunity to say thank you to all the customers, followers, family and friends for supporting me over the past year ❀ You're all amazing and it certainly wouldn't have been such a successful year without you all πŸ₯°

After being made redundant from a management job due to covid, jumping into a new business venture was a pretty scary prospect! πŸ₯΄ This year has by no means been all sunshine and roses (a fair amount of blood, sweat and tears πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚)...
I've absolutely loved it! ❀

I've learnt so much, done things I would never have imagined doing, met some incredibly lovely people and gained so many new friends 😊

I somehow managed to find myself a boyfriend in the process too πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€― And I have to say thank you to him, we work together a fair amount and he's an experienced builder so surely must have the patience of a saint to put up with me that much! πŸ˜‡πŸ₯° (So, if you're yet to meet him, feel free to offer him a cup of tea, every little helps! πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚)

So this morning it was a rushed trip to Tescos to grab some hats and a cupcake before work, just to mark the occasion, but also because I love a cupcake πŸ§πŸ˜‹

Anyway, thanks everyone!! πŸ₯°

NEW TOOL BELT, WHO DIS? πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜‚
(Swipe to see me drunk with excitement πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ₯΄)

Coming up to the one year anniversary of my business so I thought I'd buy myself an early present πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜

FYI, finding womens work trousers is a serious battle and although my ones are fantastic, they have no hammer loop or nail pockets like men's trousers do πŸ˜‘ Anyway, problem solved!

(Thanks to for letting me play around with all the different belts and pouches, much appreciated!)
