Renovation Progress

Hi kids, no weekly good stuff this week because.. wow… I’ve been a busy bee! Between running around organising kitchen’s, phoning plumers & electrical people during the week, this weekend has been jam packed with ripping out the house! So I gave you some very much ‘before’ photos in my last post, things have progressed slightly since then…

During the week Adam and our Dads have been ripping the place completely out. No built in wardrobes remain, most of the kitchen is gone, this weekend we got all the wall paper off… not a carpet in sight! So right now the house really is a shell, beautious!

We also found around 100kg of lead piping, so we’re totally selling that to pay for some of the decorating :D:D Luckily no scary suprises yet – apart from a massive underground storage area in the kitchen… Weird. A lucky find was that the flooring in the lounge is really decent floorboards, so instead of sticking laminate down we’re gunna sand the fuck out of it and varnish it up a treat! ♥

My little studio room was stripped today by Adam’s granddad, and it’s so much nicer already… decided on a warm yellow and red theme for that room, wizard of oz style! Think… ruby slippers on the yellow brick road. We also got all our plug sockets & new light switches marked up, my Dad’s cutting the holes out so that the electrician can do things a little faster/cheaper :D

Tomorrow we have a guy coming around to see how much the damage will be for moving the boiler, fixing the random array of copper pipes and fitting another couple of radiators. Preparing to take quite a big hit on that one :/

So, I’ll keep you updated, and you can see more/larger photos on flickr :D Also, head over to http://www.finestimaginary.com to check out the new packaging design that arrived this week.
