Living Room - Project Underway



We started renovating the living room yesterday with stripping the wallpaper off. It has made the room look a lot larger which is great news. At the same time we knocked out all the tiles that made up the fireplace. The next step will ne to paint the walls white. Then the work really starts we need to: patch up some of the plaster, redo the ceilings, block in a doorway, knock out and square off the faux brick archway, rebuild the existing chimney breast, build from scratch another one, level the floor up, replace the radiators, fit the log burner, paint the final colour and get the carpet fitted, put back the furniture and relax!

Middle Loo - Finished

Emma finished the wallpapering and the floor last weekend. Just a couple of pictures to put up and its finished.

Roof Insulation


Most of the roof is now insulated. Just the area around the shylight and the two alcoves to go. The skylight is being replaced next week for a velux by the roofers when they come a do a repair to stop a small leak we've had with the heavy rain. Once all the insulation is in the whole ceiling will be platerboarded, filled and painted white. Before the floor is ripped up and more insulation goes in!

Windows and Doors



Emma has been working away painting the window frames and front door. They're all primed so now the colour - a very light green. We have door furniture going on soon.
