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.
A blog to record the progress of our house ' do-er-upper' project. It will act as a memory book to record everything we went through on our house renovation project, the before and after and our trials and tribulations. Here's hoping for a nice and easy, straight forward, house renovation project!

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!
