We're up to plasterers and painters and tilers

Another very busy day on the site. Mish will need a wee glass of merlot come five o'clock when the yard clears. 

This morning:  two builders, four plasterers sanding, three unexpected painters, two tilers in the bathroom, and one plumber arriving any moment to hopefully fix the bore which has stopped working again.

Last week, Mish up the scaffold experimenting with soffit colours (very similar shades of grey).

Over the weekend we wandered through the new build to finalise paint colours. The painter has quoted for three colours so he is now requoting  haha. We have eight colours, with splashes of bright colour here and there, and a metallic bedroom ceiling that will be tricky to apply. Doable, but tricky. It's only money.

In the bathroom area, perhaps a splash of colour to match the gold highlights in a small run of tiles? The panel behind Mish's head is now orange. Yeah!

We've officially moved to stage 2 of the build. The builders have finished building the extension and the other trades are swarming in that area. Builders are now busting through bigger spaces into the old house. This is our new back door -  a porch and ramp extravaganza.

We are in organised chaos inside the house. Moving boxes and things around and out of the way and going pretty well thanks to getting a storage unit and having a big garage. Soon we'll have to ramp up moving things out of the way as the builders begin to knock down walls inside, not just on the house edges.
