A year on from Birthday Blocks and its amazing to think of the change over that time – but increasingly we are looking forward to all work being completed. With the patio due for a restart next week (weather permitting) the focus of this week was on the bathroom completion, decoration of the front porch, new pipework to the front of the house and the preparation of the stairs for carpeting on Monday. Around that was various other bits of tidying and completion as we edge ever closer to all work internally being finished.
Main activities this week:
- Coving in hall sanded, painted and completed. Two strips of wallpaper to be replaced to complete this area
- Walls, woodwork (including back of front door and internal door) & skirting completed in porch area – now just a few bits of wallpaper to go up to complete that area
