He laid a 'patching' floor on top of the shed floor that's going into holes and then made a new sewing table frame for me, very utilitarian but sturdy and what I hope will be the right height to machine on. He's made it with a loose top, which is a wardrobe door panel which I bought at Texas (remember that DIY store?) many years ago.
The framework has been put so that it's 1 1/2" or so away from the wall. I'll be able to drop material or a quilt down the back of the table by shifting the table top. There's plenty of room underneath whereas before, with a pasting table, I had a very heavy set of metal drawers helping to support it in the centre. The only snag is that it's too low to cut on comfortably but I'm learning to use the ironing board!
He also put things up in the roof space for me and got down the Christmas paper/cards/labels which I'll have to use soon, a chore I don't look forward to.Stop moaning, woman...

Know exactly what you mean about the stairs, my workroom is upstairs and sometimes I feel like crawling up, when my joints are creaking. I tell myself its good exercise but it doesn't fell like it, lol.
Also can understand the table being too low, makes my back ache bending over my table.
Hooray for hobbies, they do keep me occupied and able to forget this horrible thing called ageing.
That table looks ideal Silve! No snow here yet...
