Christmas Eve: Nearly Finished

The worktop was fitted on the 23rd of December just in time for Christmas. There are still some things to finish off, but here are the latest photos.



The larder unit you can see here is yet to be installed properly







Sink in

And the sink was fitted too:

Unfortunately it took a while before the washing machine and sink were installed.

Work on installing the kitchen continued:





Relief

Finally the downstairs toilet was in providing relief to us all, and the first source of water downstairs in 7 weeks

Fully rendered

The entire back of the house has now been completely re-rendered, together with the boundary wall where the old out houses stood. You can also see the new coping stones on the top of the wall.

Kitchen going in

On thursday, the kitchen arrived and the builders started fitting it. The worktop will not be arriving until just before Christmas, hopefully...

More Floor Screed

The wooden floor arrived on friday. Before it can be put down the whole downstairs has to have a 2 part latex screed over the old floor tiles. So far its gone down in the old kitchen area. Next week it will go down throughout the hall.
