It's a glorious morning - could almost be spring except for the biting wind, but the village looks very pretty with the sun shining on it. I haven't seen Johnny my project manager this year, although there have been lots of emails and calls going back and forward and so it's a great opportunity to catch up and see the progress on this house (which has been considerable since my last visit).
The house is full of workers - 6 by my count including plumbers and electricians. It's full steam ahead as there's still a lot to do.
The new internal doors have been delivered (they're under the brown paper) and will go in over the next couple of weeks - I was planning to have them painted, but Johnny suggests varnishing them, so now there's that dilemma to think about ......
I talk to the electrician about some LED strip lighting to sit on top of a couple of the beams in the hayloft to light the space - I think they'll look good but are a bit hard to imagine right now
They're also going to but some lighting behind the plasterboard in the en-suite which will also highlight the strip of stonework we've left exposed. As in the main bathroom, the wall is an external one so it would have been too cold to have left it fully exposed. Now the insulation is in and the room has taken shape we have to plan where the bath, shower etc are going - it's like a jigsaw puzzle, only bigger. I think the bath will go under the window with the shower on the eaves wall, but we'll see. I thought there would be loads of space, but am now not so sure.
Some of the internal drawers for the kitchen have also been delivered - can't wait to see it once it's in. The hayloft is becoming a great storage area which does mean (hopefully) stuff won't have to be moved around too much.
