Its been a while !

Hello , its been a while since I posted and the world has turned upside down for Lou and I and the rest of the family.

Thought I would try and get back in the saddle with a few recent picks and then play catch up until i get up to date.

Staircase

Harry my 4 year old little sausage, what a big boy , we love him.

Ken and Paul doing a fantastic job , the hand rails are nearly finished and look fantastic , they moved onto the rest of the window seats yesterday afternoon , off to Ireland for Harrys birthday look for ward to seeing you next week .

Its draining


Spent yesterday afternoon clearing 10 years of debris from the old drains so as the temporary kitchen solution is usable , not much fun but quite satisfying when it flows.

Installed a new foul drain which I am very proud of , dads help was invaluable wish he would get more involved he makes light of all things I stress about , knowledge is the key , I swear he looks younger when he is working with us too.Decided I am never retiring it seems to make men particularly , get old ; I think we all need a sense of purpose even if it is work.

Here are the pictures.

Study and Lounge Floors.


Only managed to get enough old boards to relay in two rooms .

It has been a mountain of work and not really cost effective but wow they look fantastic thanks Marius and Arunas , your efforts have been worth it.

Stairs at Last





Moment of truth and it all looks great , was a little worried re the hand rail it looked quite severe in the catalogue but works a treat , be glad not to be up and down ladders anymore.

Really starting to take shape now!

Need to sit a while.



First stage of finishing the windows , we have the first window seat in 4 to go and then the shutters.
