Sunshine & Decking

10 days since our last posting, and thankfully we have moved on!

The bedrooms are all complete, blinds, lampshades & all. The bathroom needs finishing off with sealant around the bath, a shower screen fitted, and the blind put up. The lounge needs a baton fixing above the window to fit the blinds to, and to cover the gap between the windows and the plaster work! Then the blinds can go up!

The fireplace looks lovely, but the fire isn't yet connected. Apparently our gas man has the flu and has asked a mate to call us to fit it....funnily enough we've not heard from him yet either!!! Never mind, looks nice, so we can have it fitted later if necessary.

The kitchen floor needs a second grout which I'll probably do later today, then we can clean up and 'dress' the place!

Craig has been lucky with the weather and begun on the decking, which is taxing his brain a bit, working out how to best construct it. He's really tired this week too, which isn't helping!

We have instructed a solicitor to act on our behalf so we can sell privately. We thought the HIP's were coming in next week, so we had to declare our house 'on the market' to evade putting one together. Yesterday's announcement of the delay is great!

We are aiming for getting valuations in next Tuesday......please let them be favourable!!
