Working on three floors at once

Busy day on the build yesterday

Three main things happened.

1.  The new glass shower screen arrived
This was a big tada moment and finally the loft is finished apart from the carpet being fitted and some finishing touches.  The glass was especially made to measure.  The man who measured it made a plywood template to ensure that all the measurements were correct.  When he arrived with the glass he was a bit nervous that it would fit and there is no tolerance error of the measurements.  It went in really easily except for the fact it was heavy and tricky for the two of us to manoeuvre.



The new shower glass Tada! G looking stern.

 2.  Preparation of the middle bedroom
G spent most of the day chiseling out channels for the electrics.  When we bought the house each room had one socket in it!  As I ran my office in one of the bedrooms you can imagine how many extension leads I needed for the computer, printer, phone, phone chargers etc.  G says he hates chasing.  His arms and shoulders ache from all the chiseling and every now and then he misses the chisel and bangs his hand.  He must have been working hard yesterday as he managed to break a hammer!

3.  The Hall striped of wall paper
In the morning we got rid of all the old furniture that we no longer had any use for  and that was being sorted in the hall way. Our friend Trokey's (the builder) son is moving out of home to a new flat so he took the lot as a job lot.  They arrived early and it was great to have the space back in the hall. 

Stripping wallpaper - it was dead easy to begin with!

The hall stripped bare

At the end of the day we were both well tired so the planned run and swim went out the window and were replaced by a G&T in the hot tub and a quite night in. Watching my new favourite program about B&B's called 'Three in a Bed'.  The one we watched last night featured a B&B in Newquay that did help yourself Continental breakfast - my sister Karen had told me about it - I thought it sounded like a fantastic idea.  Not having to cook a full fried breakfast was music to my ears.  However after watching the program I could see it  was ideally suited his establishment and location but not for us.  His place was more like a travel lodge than B&B he had 18 rooms.  Sadly however I think it would not suit our place so I will have to go back to practising the dreaded fry up!
