The deadline.........

Yep, well, Sarah would be castigating (??) us by now, as we are about to over-run on our 12 week turn around.

But on the positive side, the end is not too far off (2-3wks??!). The kitchen is almost there (waste pipe for sink needs fitting, the skirts and under stairs cupboard door needs painting, the electrical units need switching to chrome, and some wall paint needs touching up here and there).

Craig is in a dilemma whether to fit the bathroom next or do the decking...think he's worried about someone nicking his decking from the back garden before we've had chance to nail it down, but equally, we want to finish the inside before the gardens.

So, how do you like the Front door? We have a public vote you can participate in. Do you think the doorstep should:
  • a) be cleaned and left (it will look OK when not dirty and dusty)
  • b) Be painted it's original red colour
  • c) Be painted black to match door and bricks below damp course outside

Need to think about the fact that the stone door step goes under the door and is visible in the hallway inside when the door is shut. The hallway is cream with white woodwork and the door is black (inside & out). Thoughts??

hi you two , for whats its worth i've said all along to paint the step red , i think it will look to much if done black , you need two colours to seperate things.I'll throw a spanner in the works have you considered grey for the step , it will go with the black and also the white skirts in the all , just a thought. Anyway keep going the end is near you should be both proud of yourselves xx
