Shit loads of work in progress photos. None of it is remotely done yet!

Bedroom and en suite (without bath yet)

Some random kitchen and utility shots. Floor’s covered at the mo and there’s no worksurface yet plus half the furniture is missing, it hasn’t been painted or wall tiled. And electrics aren’t finished and the tumble dryer door is off, but apart from that...

I quite like the look of the cabinet fronts by the sink. Are they made of actual timber?

Yes, 100 year old Eastern European barn wood. Because Surrey. Those cabinets are from the inside of the barn, the utility room is wood from the outside, which is much rougher.

Looking good kabbes. Are you going to render the kitchen brick walls?

If you hadn't already made provision, I'd recommend a heat exchange fan for that shower room with the low ceiling.

Oh no no, we went through hell to sandblast that brick. We’re not rendering it!

Fans for shower rooms already in the works.

Are you going to seal it up with something?

It's looking wonderful kabbes, those kitchen and utility units are lovely.

 

[Cloo]

Loving the wooden units, really characterful, which is more than one can say for most kitchen units

 

[kabbes]

I think we plan to use the same thing we used to seal the slate tiles

Yes, I was counting the weeks and was only a couple of weeks away. Now it's a month, if they arrive...

There was a vague mention of an 'appropriate discount' from the supplier in the letter they sent, whatever that means.

 

[kabbes]

I hate it when the stuff you’re desperate to arrive doesn’t arrive. It’s so frustrating!

Our scaffolding came off this week!

Finally got this framed and up:

It is, and I'm not very patient at the best of times. Also annoyed the letters (they sent three one for each item ffs) were bland and merely alluded to 'unexpected issues'. Tell me why my sofas - which I paid in full - are actually late, not just some made up corporate speak.

Fuckers.

Oh no, hope it's not too serious.

 

[kabbes]

Oh no, hope it's not too serious.

We got back from getting fish and chips to discover it was a bad idea to put the dishwasher on when we’d unplugged the sink...

No damage done though, so far as I can tell

 

[kabbes]

Family bath went in today



The en suite bath has arrived and is going in tomorrow. No photos until it’s in though, because it’s a bit special...

That looks fab kabbes, a really nice shade of green.

As I am bored of waiting for the sofas to arrive, I have reupholstered a chair and made it a matching cushion. It's one of a pair so currently working on the cushion for the second chair.
