Last week we got an epic lot of stuff done in the house. Most of the electrics were finished off, all of the walls were fully stripped and all the old skirting boards were taken off. Over this weekend I spent hours filling holes in (what will be) mine and Adam’s room, Adam sanded down the walls in there and my Dad was fitting skirting boards in the living room. Unfortunately Adam’s Dad found that two of the joists (the big long bits of wood that run from one side of the room to the other and hold up the floorboards) had rotted in the kitchen, meaning they had to be taken out. Wood arrived today for them to be replaced. It’s not so much a biggy, just quite an annoying thing to have happened. Work started today on the central heating. We’re having a new boiler placed in a new position, alongside two new radiators downstairs (kitchen and living room) and a small radiator in the bathroom. There’s lots of new piping going in too, and some other piping being rerouted and shifted around to better positions. The huge hole in the living room where the fire will live has been made even bigger, too! We bought our fire the other day (well, it’s a house warming presents from my Mum and Dad)…
Oo and as a note, we’re having that same green as the colour in our living room. We’ve also just ordered a black hearth and back panel for the fire area. The surround will be build by my dad, and we’ll either have plain wood (to match the sanded and laquered flooring) or plain white.
