Here we are, week 16 of the project. Anne and I spent the weekend painting the downstairs bedroom and hallway. They've had 3 coats of white on the walls and ceilings. The colour coat will go on when al the tradesmen have left, but we did manage to put some colour around the radiator brackets, behind where the rads will sit. That took us pretty much all Sat and last night until about 9pm to finish. I was on roller coverage and Anne was on edging and paintwork.
This week we should get the radiators fixed in place downstairs and the under floor heating activated. Soffits and fascias should be done this week as well, with a bit of luck. We've also got some more plaster boarding to get done in the lounge and utility, then get that skimmed over.
Alex started building a timber partition wall in the kitchen last week, which is where the sink, dishwasher etc will fit. So I expect he'll be finishing that off too.
This is my last week in work before I take annual leave until after Christmas, so I can concentrate on getting work done in the house. Feeling optimistic at the moment about being warm and comfortable for Christmas, but there's still a lot to do!
