Progress in the kitchen

Now the Aga is in, the team are full speed ahead in the kitchen so that the units can be fitted - there's still a fair bit to do before that can happen.  The walls are skimmed and Darren comes up with the great idea to build a little alcove to the side of the fireplace......you'll need to use your imagination to visualise the log basket in the bottom of it and shelves of books above it, but that's the plan

Once the walls are skimmed, they lay the tiles.  It's a messy business and the wonky walls add a challenge, but I think they look terrific.  They get sealed, grouted and then covered up carefully so that the team can get on with the second fix.
