Still posting last weeks achievements. The bedroom cupoards have gotten [I always thought this was an Americanism but as Shakespeare used it, I will too] doors. Made from birch plywood with a groove routed in to match the walls. They were hung yesterday after being painted over the weekend. Need a new photo here.
We have put the central beams up in the corridor, with their led lights, finishing the ceilings. Really pleased with the ash skylights.
Last week was one of those weeks where it all seems to come together. Not that we worked harder than any other week, but sometimes that's the way it looks. Yhe four guest bathrooms are ready for their epoxy work.
We found a new pair of inline skates for Em, while searching for a thermos in the sales. She put them on and flew round the shop, eventually skating to the check-out. She had grown out of the last pair, but these will last her longer as they adjust to fit four shoe sizes. We never found the thermos though.
The stairs fit perfectly. A couple of millimeters extra in the first and last step, but as the sizes were decided long before the floors went in we are very happy indeed. They look great too and are much easier than the aluminium ladder we've been climbing for almost a year.
Even with a temporary mould that is cut and fits fine, it's always a 'take a deep breath' moment when the oversized staircase has to be sawn to size.
