The glass has come from Europe, the fitters have come from Yorkshire and we have a wonderful corner window! It’s going to be fabulous sitting in this window and seeing the bay!

(And people can see Clare waving from the inside).

We’ve got all the underlayers of render done, and two walls are fully rendered. We are so pleased with the colour! It reminds me of that gorgeous golden syrup light you get late in the day…

And the plastering! Most of it is done - a tiny bit on the top floor, parts of our bedroom and most of the large room downstairs (kitchen/dining/sitting room).

And some wonderful views, from the skylight that Dai managed to manhandle into position alone (hench!) and also from the toor of the scaffolding.

Still a way off but definitely getting nearer. The plaster getting nearly done is so important -THE SECOND FIX ELECTRICS and the underfloor heating upstairs can go down and then the cork clickboards (and a bit of marmoleum in the bathrooms), the skirting boards, the architraves, the doors and the concrete surface layer downstairs. Then the second fix plumbing, the kitchen, oh it’s still lots!
