Restricted Access

We took our daughters to the "dream home" today with a view to taking them upstairs so they could see their bedrooms.

Unfortunately, the joiner seems to have restricted our access via the normal route and the girls didn't fancy the look of the rickety ladder that has been put in its stead. The sturdy scaffolding previously in place has now been disconnected from the landing:

I, however, did manage a wander around to see what else the joiner had achieved. Ceilings have been formed, stud walls are in place and even the fancy recess in the dining area is half done.

Roof slates and electrical work is still outstanding though - hurricane force weather hasn't helped matters for either profession.

Decisions have been made on the fireplaces that are to be installed. A frameless Studio 1 gas fire for the front sitting room and an Escamo 200 wood burning stove for the back sitting room come in at just under budget.
