This and that

The past week has seen progress on several fronts, none of which are particularly photogenic.

We started on 2nd fix electrics, including junction boxes for the numerous LED lights and laying the underfloor heating for the en-suite. The latter comes with a natty controller which seems to be able to do everything except make the early morning tea.

A lot more plastering has been completed. Soon we will have finished the wet trades work and most of the mess will be gone. That will be nice. We're getting ready for 2nd fix carpentry, with the internal doors, skirting boards, architraves and internal window cills all to hand now. A start has been made on emulsion painting the walls and ceilings.

I've had initial skirmishes with carpet suppliers and have designed the walk in cupboard layout. The wood stove and fireplace have also been ordered.

The coming week should see the en-suite tiled and even, perhaps, the 2nd fit plumbing completed. Plastering should be finished too.

Three months into project. I think we're still more or less on schedule to finish (at least sufficiently to take up occupancy) by the end of September. No doubt there will be a long "tail" of minor work beyond that.
