Where does the time go to......

........well, it goes on painting floors, which are all done now.  Finished the kitchen floor before going away for a few days so that it had plenty of time to dry and harden.

all finished, washing machine and dishwasher levelled

Whilst away came across The Trident Pottery in Kings Cross selling these rather nice Indian rugs (we were looking for a ceramic butter dish!), so we have sunshine yellow in the hallway, and

 orange, red, cream and purple in the study area.

We also swapped the tables, putting the oval dining table into the study area, and the table that had had the computer on it into the kitchen as a temporary measure.

Here are the fillets for the spaces between the rendered panels - nice bits of oak, cut to specific sizes, cut by Howard. Hopefully we will start to insert them this afternoon. With silicon to hold them in place and then sealed with compriband.  Another job ticked off the list.

Howard is also making us a set of pigeon hole shelving to go over the sink and worktop in the kitchen, almost completed.  Then he will come and fit it and also fit the timber corners against the chimney/window, to finish off the sitting room.  Then curtain track up and I can start the mammoth job of making the curtains.  

Rockwall contractors REA are starting their work on Monday - only a year after they put up the insulation without any DPC and without sealing the joint between the metal and the render, so that it cracked and pulled away.  I am very happy about this, and this time it will be done properly.

So, we are getting on with the exterior as well as finishing off the interior.

More news later on the production of a sign for the house.
