We are getting towards having rooms complete… very exciting! Our bedroom has been painted. White at the moment, while we live with it for a  while and work out what colours we can have where. Maddie bought some of those day light bulbs, but it felt much like what I imagine standing on the surface of the sun (possibly not as hot) – so we’ve replaced them with warm lights. But other than the carpet, which won’t be in until the staircase is fitted, our bedroom is pretty much there.

And the new feature in the view from our bedroom window – the flue is up and that can mean only one thing.

Yup – our new multi-fuel burner is in and it is fantastic – as is the chimney breast around it. Not sure about the pink – but that’s the colour of fireproof plasterboard… Mark Cunningham is the man who sourced and fitted the burner and built the chimney breast around it. All in one day!

And the installation of the burner coinciding with us finally getting all of the radiators fitted. So we have all the central heating up and running again. Did lead to a slightly eccentric Sunday afternoon though.

Few other rooms moving on – in the upstairs bathroom we gave up on the sinkless approach – the tap looked odd on its own… The loo is plumbed in and the guys are hoping to tile it in the coming week before fitting the shower and the towel rail next weekend. The downstairs loo is plumbed in. No lights and no door as yet – so still a bit of an adventure. And the utility room is set up. Hopefully second fix of electrics downstairs in the next week so we will have lights and sockets sorted for the whole house.

Finally, Maddie found a couple of photos of the builders and her new duster. Sometimes I don’t think they take everything seriously…  🙂
