Today may be a day of romance, but before the lovely dinner and bottle of wine I've been promised, I did do a little bit of work at the house to earn my treats!
The weather has been great the past few days, so the pointing of the bricks is almost complete, and they look so much better. The roofer came today and re pointed the hip tiles (that sit along the roof edge) and replaced the flashing around the chimney.
The plaster has made good headway and the kitchen is almost fully boarded and has been skimmed on 3 of the 4 sides, so looking good. Craig has been stripping off the plaster round the windows of the bedrooms, which are the worst areas of plaster, so hopefully most of the other bedroom walls will just need a skim. They will start on them tomorrow probably, once the kitchen is complete. I helped tonight by stripping the remnants of wallpaper from the small bedroom and the bathroom, and tidying the walls as much as possible before skimming.
Steve, our gas man, is coming tomorrow, to fit the boiler, central heating and shower for us, so the progress continues!
Happy Valentines Everyone!!
