Heating's on!

The central heating is completed in the new extension and in the old front rooms. This evening we filled the system and with a keen sense of anticipation, fired up the boiler. No leaks! Soon the radiators were starting to warm up and before long the new rooms were losing their autumnal chill. The heated towel rail makes the new en-suite lovely and warm!

Meanwhile, painting and decorating has continued to make good progress. The external doors have had their first few coats of varnish and are therefore weatherproof, which is good, as rain is forecast for the next two days. Internally most of the rooms are finished apart from some minor snagging work.

Benny is back, rejuvenated by his short holiday and keen to get on with the hallway. This means that the partition between the new stuff and the part of the bungalow that I've been living in has to come down. The next few days will be rather trying as two parts become one for the first time but it will also be extremely rewarding.

What? No pix? I could post some pictures of me basking in the glow of nice warm radiators and mellow emulsioned  walls but I'm not going to. You'll have to wait until next week when the partition is down and the fireplace is installed and there's lots of other photogenic stuff to whitter on about.
