Lots has been going on in the last month - the biggest change is the decoration. Alex has worked really well to get the paint on the walls - at this stage there is only one room that is still bare plaster - the store room.
Alex is very meticulous about his work - he paints, sands, fills, sands and paints again. As a result the walls and ceilings are looking good. The final colours in some of the rooms are yet to be done so a lot of the house is white.
the guest room upstairs has a touch of the final colour on the walls.
as do the secret cupboards...
As for the other rooms, we are still choosing colours...
While Alex was painting Richard the plasterer was back again to finish off the sitting room now that the fire place is (finally) finished.
The end result looks pretty good!So what's left to do?
We reckon we've got about another month to go. The stone floor tiles from Natural Stone tiles in Abingdon were delayed slightly, by about a week or two. the knock on from this is that the tilers have now moved on to another job so we have to wait for them. They might be here sometime in the first week of May... hopefully.
The floors being late has pushed the kitchen and the remainder of the plumbing back. The kitchen fitter, Danny, has been really good (haven't seen the final product yet though...) AS he couldn't finish the kitchen off yet he has moved on to the frames for the built in cupboards. Starting upstairs in each of the bedrooms.
We still need to discuss the playroom cupboards and design. That will be next weeks decision...
We went to look at carpets and flooring at the weekend - so much choice although i think we are getting close to the final one (s).
I think the next week will see the stone floor laid and then we can move on again.
