One down!

This morning the shower screen was installed in the first bathroom, completing that part of the renovations.



We have moved to the upstairs bedroom and Friday morning the strip out of the two downstairs bathrooms will begin.



We have become relatively adept at living with chaos and mess but I fear there are one or two things we shall never again see...

It is, as the photos show; all white with the exception of the floor tiles which are a slightly patterned brown (sounds quite lovely doesn't it?) tile.

The pantry and laundry are taking shape and some tiles will go in there this week but Ric our builder does not want the new floor tiles to go down until the work downstairs is complete in case they are scuffed during the work downstairs. In consequence we are walking on newly laid tile underlay, a kind of fibrous cement material carefully nailed down. No counting was involved but Ric tells me that he worked out around 3,000 nails had to be driven into the sheets he laid - glad I was at work that day.
