One of the few areas which we hadn’t already painted is the area outside the bathroom – for the obvious reason that we were waiting until the bathroom was finished so we knew where to paint! Now that it IS finished, we’re painting the bit outside the door to match the rest of the hall…
Almost finished!
Today was Tony’s last day at the house, and he managed to finish everything he planned to. All we have to do now is decorate a bit – paint the bathroom, treat the new doors etc. Henry also managed to hang a new door in the bedroom, which was a bit of a bonus!
Some more updated photos
The bathroom is very nearly finished now, with the door and toilet-sink being the only things left to do..
That sink(ing) feeling…
The building is coming along fast and furious, though the Reading Festival has eaten our builder for this friday so it probably won’t get finished this week. The bath is almost completely finished now, the sink is on the wall and plumbed in, the floor has been leveled and laminated, and the radiator’s on the…
Bathroom coming along nicely..
The bathroom is coming along swimmingly, with a Friday finish looking quite probably now (finger’s crossed!)… The tiling is all but finished now, the shower tray is in and looking good, and the door is being bricked up as we speak…

The bathroom cometh…

The first day’s progress including ripping the entire suite out of the old bathroom,…
Tackling the ivy…
The ivy that climbs up the back of the house finally got too much for Simon and Sarah upstairs today, as it had started to creep in the window on their landing, so we decided to take action today. Having got permission from the guys in the bottom flat next door, we headed in to…
New carpet and the world BIGGEST wardrobe
Well the time has come at last for the new carpet to be fitted – after almost a year of having bare floorboards in both bedrooms (slippers a must!) we ordered a new carpet from the nice people at Carpet Right and had it fitted it this week. Since Henry is off on 2 weeks…
Absolutely A-door-able
Having had a lot of success with the new bathroom door, we decided to push our luck and see if we could repeat it with a new door in the lounge. We plan to eventually replace all the doors, but considering the bedroom doors and the kitchen one will all get replaced when their respective…
