Life on the Avenue

This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!

Blue Sky View!

This is the glass skylight to he birch ply wood clad room at the top of our house.

During the year the glass skylight got extremely dirty. From time to time Ciaran and I climbed out on to the house roof and with a long pole we attempted to clean the skylight.

When we arrived back from Abu Dhabi over Christmas I noticed that the glass skylight was spotlessly clean. We reckon that the freezing temperatures (below minus 4) froze water on the roof and took the dirt with it when it melted and ran off.

The skylight allows for a lovely view of the sky and this room is one of my favourite places to go when it is raining heavily. It is relaxing to lie on the ground and look up at the rain battering the house!
