After spending the weekend putting the first coats of paint on the walls, sitting back and letting the builders pull together the finishing touches was actually quite enjoyable. Today was a whirlwind of action and saw quite a few jobs ticked off the final to do lists. Most importantly for us the electrics are up and running (though being finalised tomorrow), so the new fridge freezer is now in use and I am in love with the American style one we chose. The wall and ceiling lights have been installed and look absolutely amazing, really setting off the kitchen.
We have had the remainder of the skirting finished in the old dining room as well the extractor fan being put into the downstairs toilet.
Outside saw lots of work too with the concreting in of the sides of the roof tiles as well as putting a finish on the areas around the porch where the old top had been removed. The fence between our house and our immediate neighbours has been fully reinstated and secured and the pipework outside has been connected to the main soil stack (alas I missed Steve by inches when the sink waste pipe was open). A few more jobs left on the to do list for tomorrow although
the concrete floor in the porch has been started today, but in the final days now....just can't believe we're almost there and how beautiful it looks!!
