Real Comfort!

The progress alluded to in the last posting has continued and we now do actually have a functioning bathroom which is complete in terms of the facilities and only a little decoration needs to be finished. The bedroom is also fully formed with its cupboard in place but there remains quite a lot of finishing off to do before we can consider the work in it to be completed, but it is not ‘heavy’ work at all.

Work has commenced on the smaller, back room which will eventually become a study/sitting room. But for the moment it will be used as a kitchen/dining room. The concrete floor has been laid, a new doorway has been cut in to the room off the hallway and the existing two window holes enlarged and new windows mounted. A start has also been made on putting in a first floor so that we shall be able to form a bedroom above.

Given the problems in the British housing market we shall call a halt soon to the work. But the aim is to have sufficient of the work completed such that we shall have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen/diner and very large sitting room. Much of the building work required to get this finished will have to be done by us rather than our builder, but then we haven’t much else to do!!
