Another day , another doorway

Another day, another doorway! Oh and we also have electricity upstairs! We can look around the new bedroom at night without having to resort to torches!!

Kitchen doorway

We came home to another new doorway today! It's rather cold again, but we'll be watertight and airtight before we know it though!

Lounge

Woodwork & Water...

More plaster and radiators

The remaining walls that could be plastered upstairs were done today, including the hallway. It's the first time in three and a half years that we've walked up the stairs and seen something other than bare plasterboard. Until the windows on the front of the house are installed the last wall can't get plastered.

The radiators were also put in place today. Most of the pipework has been fitted, we just need it plumbing into the rest of the system and we'll have heat in the extension!

Plaster!

Boards went up yesterday, today came the plaster!

Windows!

We have some windows!!! The decorative front windows are taking a little longer to make, but still, we're a step closer to being watertight and it means they can get on with the plastering.

Bedroom, bathroom and cupboard

Some progress inside today! We've got the makings of a ceiling in the main bedroom and a definite bathroom and wardrobe! The hallway door also got the start of its casing today, with the bonus that most of the holes/gaps to outside are blocked; fingers crossed the house upstairs will be a little warmer.

Bedroom Door

We came home today to a new door at the end of our hallway! Well it's more of a hole than a door really... As we're more or less open to the elements it's freezing in the hallway, but it's only  temporary and will be worth it in the end.

Floor & scaffolding

Big visual changes today! The floor was laid, and the scaffolding came down; unfortunately in that order... The scaffolders managed to drop a pole which stuck itself into the floor! Luckily I spotted it before the concrete set. Now we just have a hole to fill rather than a pole to remove!

The most frustrating part at the moment is the time of year: going to, and coming home from work in the dark means you don't get a good look/ appreciation of what has changed!
