The Living Room progresses.
Focus has shifted downstairs, now that Owen has settled into his room and the upstairs floor cleared to be filled with tower scaffolds for lime plastering. We had a festive ‘Partition Wall Erecting Party’ when Darren, Chris, Steve and Tim very kindly gave up a day (and a long one at that) of their Christmas holiday to create the main…

A little bit finished!
Finally we have a finished room! Its all very exciting, especially for Owen who has vacated ‘The Hut’ and moved in! It took a while to do all the finishing touches like skirting boards, hanging and painting doors, but its all been worth it as we’re really pleased with the finished result.

We have redesigned the flooring from its original position. It was a patchwork of yellow tiles and flagstones. Now all the yellow tiles are…

House taking shape…
Work continues on the house. Boys bedrooms have just been plastered. Got professionals in and they did an excellent job. Can start thinking about paint colours. Exciting! Karl conducted heating trials over Christmas, after connecting the underfloor heating to the boiler by installing the manifold. It works! What a relief. Lovely to hear the boiler working away, that alone makes…
