This was G's idea to let more light in the hall way. We are going to change our ugly front door which is an all glass door for a door that is solid so wont let as much light in - G is now awake so I have definitely failed in trying to write the three posts before he got up - he is now playing with the electrics as I am writing we had a bit of a flash and spark and cracking noise as he had a screw driver in the light switch. Its freaking me out slightly but as always G is completely nonchalant. I forgot to mention last night when we got home from the pub for supper we had our supper by candle light not because we were being romantic but because the lights kept shorting out. This morning he has decided it maybe because he has screwed into an electric cable under the floorboards. I think I may where rubber shoes around the house today - G is totally not phased by any of this.
Whilst I have been writing G opened his card and loved it then shortly after the blog came through on his iPhone and he burst out laughing as he realised why the card was stuck over the message inside. He thought I was re-using an old card! He can't believe I bought an engagement card by mistake. He just dropped a wet paint roller down the stairs - very un-G like - I think it must be the shock of the engagement card!
Anyway this is all distracting me from speed writing three posts - So I may just let the photos tell the story of the window going in the stairway. The bit I like is when G drills lots of holes to make the shape of the window and then bangs it out with a hammer and chisel- its a bit like joining the dots. Very dusty and very messy. Here are the photos.
