Day Forty-Seven

The bungalow has been super busy again today, the plasterers have made it down the stairs and finished the ‘join’ to the hall really well and the bathroom has been skimmed too. The dormers have been undercoated outside and prepped inside. The frame is in for the ensuite door and there is a wall between the new ensuite and the bedroom cupboard. Electrical stuff has been going on too. That’s quite a lot if you ask me.

Other Stuff

The sun has been shining all afternoon and, though it is a bit chilly out of the rays, I have removed the guinea hutch from its winter home to allow the summer-house to be used again.  I emptied it, swept out all the hay and debris, put the furniture back in and within 5 minutes my boys and their pal had taken up residence.  Typical.  It was good to see them outside playing for hours on end I must admit, about time too.  This could be spring coming back to cheer us all up a bit.  The boys insisted on eating their tea in the summer-house, brilliant, you can tell they’re desperate for good weather too.

Look at me now, all full of flower and flopping everywhere.  Not long after I took this one of the flower stalks gave up and came off.  The perfume had got a bit much if I’m honest.

Day Forty-Six

We’ve been out in Glasgow today catching up with friends. I am pleased to say there are some doors actually in place now and all the rooms are plastered upstairs.  Have a  look….

The tiles for both bathrooms have arrived and the other bathroom things are ready to collect,  I need to buy some door handles for upstairs tomorrow and soon decorating will be in full swing.
