Day Thirty-Three

~ Bungalow Blogger ~ 2 Comments

We have skeleton rooms now, it is brilliant to see the space divided up and the zones making sense.  The two front rooms are a good size and the bathroom seems tiny.  I’ve been in with my measuring tape making sure I can fit my wider bath in.   I can.  We need to think about where to put the sink though to allow for a rather bright mirror my husband spotted when we were looking for bathrooms.  Looking good eh?

These two cabinets have been upstairs and moved about the whole time the upstairs has been getting done.  They originally fitted in the space where the little toilet was, before it was installed.  They sit one on top of the other and I have them earmarked to go in the front room eventually.  I need to clean them up and they will get painted white.  Once we have some room somewhere they will finally make it down the stairs.  Nobody knows how they ever got up the old stairs in the first place.  A mystery.

H has these permanently on her head ready for Comic Relief, funny how quickly you get used to something daft like these! RND_Boppers_140_v1_m56577569834367805Her other excitement is having 7 newborn chicks in her classroom.  She is at the back so she is keeping a good eye on them.  I was introduced to them after school today, very cute indeed.

The boys are loving playing Minecraft with pals online. Wish I understood why it is so exciting or is the whole idea that I don’t get it I wonder…

Day Thirty-Two

What a funny day it’s been.  Sun, snow, hailstones, wind, great bright blue skies and a chill in the air.  These tulips would manage to cheer even the most solemn face. tulips

We had a visit from the window man, that’s the next big step.  Today’s big questions were how many astragals on the upstairs windows and what lighting to have upstairs.  All sorted now.

Two pictures from upstairs today, one from the front, the other from the back.  The whole perimeter is plasterboarded now and the ceiling (or walls, depending on who you ask) is next.

p.s.  Look what I got for Mothers’ Day.   I swear you would get 8 cups from it, it’s massive.  I’m saving it for once the regeneration is done.  I absolutely love it to bits.  Thanks to my lovely children and husband xxxxx

Day Twenty-Nine

Friday again and loads more progress.

All of the old bedroom wallpaper has gone and we’re hoping work on the shower will start next week. The waste pipe is in place for upstairs now so the upstairs bathroom fittings will be the next big purchase.  The space for the stair is all ready apart from the wall that needs to come down.  The lights are the decision for upstairs this weekend.  Downlighters or pendants, that is the question….  or both?  Anyway I’m sure we’ll decide pretty quickly.

H is so proud to have Buddy the class bear home for the weekend, he’ll be joining us wherever we go and we need to record what he’s been up to .  Great for a bit of competitive parenting.  One photo has the bear with Tom Daley.  How are we going to top that?

 

Have a good weekend one and all. X
