All the plastering is now done, cornices are all up (apart from one in the back room… figure this will get done sooner or later), doors are being hung, sliding doors are in, architraves and skirting have been started, and it looks like will be finished this week. There are small holes everywhere for the electrical points to be brought through. Waterproofing is done, bricking is getting there….
The front door is on (temporary one gone) and really happy how it looks with the rest of our external selections. It will eventually be painted in ‘Monument’ – dark grey – to match the gutters and windows.
I’ve measured the windows internally to start getting quotes for the window coverings. There is apparently a 4-6 week wait once you have ordered so it would be good to get this sorted out in the next month or so, so we don’t have a long wait to get them installed once we are actually in.
As the house has progressed there are two issues that have become more obvious. The toilet – which does not have a window – is extremely dark. So is the front porch – the door is quite far ‘in’ and so there isn’t a lot of natural light. I think we may end up installing some small skylights later on – don’t really want to have to turn the light on during the day if it can be helped (in the toilet, anyway). Will wait and see.
Some more pics!
