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.

Day Forty-Four

What a lovely day, we’ve down visiting friends in Dunbar, it’s been sunny and very relaxing. The best bit is I’ve got a party for a good friend’s significant birthday tonight too, canny wait.

There has been more plastering upstairs today, bits in the back bedroom, bathroom and stair wall. No photos today, I’ll give you the day off from them.

Off to ‘get ready’ for the party, which means getting changed and children organised as quickly as possible.

Have a brilliant chocolatey weekend, xx

Day Forty-Three

Doors and bathrooms have been high on the agenda today. Getting the bathroom bits and bobs sorted just takes ages. Glad to report I’ve ordered tiles, loos and a sink today. Good.

The doors upstairs need to be chosen. Ideally I would get exactly the same as the downstairs doors made to match but that would be pricey and every penny counts at this stage of the regeneration. There is a search on for the best match to the downstairs doors, off the shelf as it were, we’ll see how it goes. The other door issues involve choosing where the new door in the front bedroom will be and whether the old bathroom door will do size regulation wise – the good news is it will be fine, phew.

The plasterers have been doing their stuff above the stair, they had an elaborate plank, ladder and baton scenario to reach all the way up there beside my lovely skylights. There is another smooth and delightful curve at the top of the stairs, it looks superb.
