Been a while. Been busy, K's been busy, camera's power switch is buggered so in all, blog updates have been a bit tardy...
We did have a postage stamp of Complete done, but the stove has to come out again - it's level, which is wrong. Being open-vented, it traps air in the boiler jacket...
Bread oven nearly done though. Plaster coat no.1...
... and plaster coat no.2 with red socket box for washing machine.
Previous owners had covered this window in the larder with plasterboard for no reason I can think of, apart from to make the bread oven behind even darker!
Bathroom is a bit of a mess...
...so's the plumbing under the bathroom window! I think the original plumber was looking forward to a plate of spaghetti for lunch and let his stomach control his pipework.
There will be a bathroom again! Honest! The ceiling is individual terracotta bricks, 5cm thick, held in place with plaster of paris and wee hooks. Why??
Ex-meter cubby hole, becoming a shower shelf with an ecclesiastical bent. Umming and ahh-ing about whether to have polished plaster or tiles.
Workbench coming up as soon as the bathroom's back to half-done, then we go back to the front of the house and get plastering, laying floor, making sills, etc, etc.
K's cut 4 cords of wood with a wee hand saw while I've been pottering about in the house!
Oh, and the spuds are in.
