Weather!!

The very poor weather conditions today meant Craig wasn't able to finish fitting the doors upstairs......honestly, there was a good reason! He has to take them into the back garden to plane them so as not to get sawdust everywhere inside, and equally, there isn't the room!

Instead, he got on with other niggling jobs like fitting handles and mortice's to the lounge and kitchen doors, properly fitting a couple of the light fittings, and then set about making a new loft hatch which took a while, but now looks so much better than the old one. Bet no-one who views will even notice it, but there you go!

I did as I'd said and sanded all the woodwork in lounge and hallway, before Craig and and I tidied up the lounge area and brought a few more things home with us. You'll notice from the photo that the loo is still in lounge, in fact sitting on the hearth, as it is holding the hearth down while it sets....which it probably has by now! The fireplace looks great and with our expert filling and sanding, you can't even see where it is attached to the wall!!

I then got on with glossing again, and all the skirts in the hall and lounge are now complete. The doors need a bit of touching up downstairs, but that won't take long.

Be nice if the weather could improve so Craig can start the decking (once the loo has been fitted!). Least the ground will have softened up I suppose!!!
