Slowly we are moving forward on the garage re-build project. The new architect has discussed our latest plans with the officer at the local council that I met with back in March and, other than one tiny point which seemed very unimportant to me, we now have "agreement in principle". Tentative building date might be July to August if we decide to go ahead. The cost is much more that we had budgeted for, so it is important to be very excited about going ahead and to really make the most of it when we have it.
Coincidently, The Independent ran an article on home gyms earlier this week and one idea they suggested was an indoor climbing wall. I am suddenly extremely interested in this idea and have been researching indoor rock climbing holds. Apparently, for about £300, I could acquire 75 climbing holds and associated bolts from which I could create quite a thing. And as we plan to put in a shower room, this will make for a whole host of interesting possible climbing opportunities around a complex shape. True the maximum height of the room is only about 11ft, but two doorways and the shower room give plenty of potential.
Other ideas could include a spin-bike. Surprisingly, Linda also seems to think that these could be good ideas. Standing close to the two back bedrooms at our house, it is possible to really get a good visualization of how it will be. I am very excited about the project. Fingers crossed that nothing unexpected happens as it reaches the planning committee.
