Shower

It's been a while since an update, but that doesn't mean no progress... we've mainly been working inside recently and focussing on the en-suite. The toilet and basin are fully plumbed in (although there may be a few drops still...) but the shower is proving to be a bit fiddly. Tray in, enclosure in place and tiles on the wall. Realised that having a void behind tiles might make grouting a little tricky so took some tiles back off and plastered the void. Waiting for that to dry to then put the tiles back on and then grout it! Fingers crossed I'll have the shower finished by the end of the week!

Finished!!

... the first coat... on the front of the house. Still, it's another step closer and looks a little bit more presentable now!

Painting above the porch was an interesting experience, but I managed it all the same!

Carpet!!!

Carpet day today in the lounge! We'll finally be able to clean the house without a thin layer of dust settling two minutes later!

More paint removal attempts outside (pain staking doesn't describe half of it...) but only a bit more painting to do on the front until we've finished the first coat!

More nice weather, more outdoor improvements

All of the front below the brick course has had a single coat, the front door has had a colour change and attempts at removing paint from the brickwork above the window...

Two more sections

Still not sure how to do the back of the house, but the bit  everyone else can see is coming along nicely!

Slow and steady

Painting

The builders have gone but that doesn't mean the house renovation work has finished...
