Hello again from a very Spring like Ireland..
The weather is definitely improving!! And so is the house, Its looking fab inside, all the woodwork is now finished and we have started to seal the plaster (God I hate painting!!!!!!)
Myself & Dunc’s spent most of the weekend at the house painting and cleaning tiles… As you can imagine I moaned like hell the whole time – Attention span of a gnat, that’s me!! Dunc’s was thrilled by it all, I can tell you 😉
Anyway here’s some photo’s to give you an idea…
We have doors....
As you can see, we have doors and even lights so all the electrics are finished too!!!
The Tiler has also been very busy at work and we now have an en-suit completely tiled & cleaned by my fair hands…. What back-breaking work, but it was worth it
The Shower....
Look at that shine!!!
So it moves on, I will tell you a little story about why the Tiler can not move onto the main bathroom yet, even though we have a bath already fitted, that finally arrived from B&Q a week late (But it did come from England and was lost on route but was found again!!!) So picture the scene:
You are a qualified plumber (Obviously good as Murphy’s would not use you)
You have this bath to fit and can not get hold of the owner of the house (The one time the owner leave’s phone at home to do school run) Do you
A Fit the bath with the Taps above the Plug and Overflow hole?
B – Fit the bath with the Taps at the end of the bath cause that’s where they usually go? OR
C – Do you do the most sensible thing and wait to speak to owner before touching the bloody bath that has to come all the way from bloody england and will hold up the Tiler and the fitting of the bathroom?????
Before I give you answer to the million dollar question, Where would you fit the taps on the above mentioned bath that has to come all the way from england!!!!
Answers on a postcard please…
Well my little rant now over I feel able to continue…
The weekend was spent painting and sealing the walls and ceilings.. We spent all day saturday at the house (Well I left at 4.30 cause I was cold ;-( ….) and Dunc’s left at 6.30pm so you would be expecting a lot of paint on the walls and ceilings…. Oh how we underestimated the size of the area that needs sealing!!
The front door...
How much more to go???
OMG...
Lunch break on Saturday...
So to cap it off…. Connor, Millie & Our bedroom ceiling has been sealed..
The hall way has been completely sealed all over (That is a very large area)
And the Kitchen/lounge area ceiling has been done with half the wall space sealed.. There is a huge amount to do now!!
So that is about it for the house until next time but we have the garage to catch up on…
it's a fine-looking garage..
The guttering...
Isn’t the garage looking great??? It’s not your bog standard garage by any means… The windows and doors went in today so will hopefully be back on at the weekend with some more photo’s of the house and the garage…
So for now I sign of as in need of a glass of wine..
take it easy out there..
