Fireplace and plastering

Emma has plastered in the doorway that previosuly went from the hall into the dining room. This whole wall will be wallpapered.



Ed has got underway with constructing the fireplace - its level!
This is the height that the mantlepiece will be. The sides still need to be built up to the ceiling but not as far out and the sides at the front will be thicker before the light grey marble fire sourround is placed on and the whole chimney breast is plastered and painted.
Then the log burner will be installed.

New Radiators


The radiators are in and working. This is the tall column rad in the bedroom, identical to the one in the living room. Regular double convectors have been put in the spare room, study and dressing room. the whole second floor is now significants warmer.
