Into spring and mere weeks to go in the works

The last bit of gib going in - the guest bathroom's skylight. 

There's still a bit to do though - builders have still got to build the back door ramp and steps outside Mish's studio. Kitchen arriving end of the month, plasterers and painters lining up to work inside. We're moving things from room to room and out again as work gets done by every trade.

We went into town to admire the cool metal shelves Mish has had made for the library cheese boards. She's had fun. 

Cheeseboards from Gouda have arrived and are stacked up in the mistresses bedroom, and the vanity from Italy has finally arrived after much delay and one of our few glitches. 'Fly it in now at your expense,' said Mish. And they did.

We're enjoying living in the new wing, crowded with household goods though it is.  The old house has no power and our cool spring nights involve extension cords flowing over the floor so we can access heating, light and internet in the living room. Works ok - but we'll we glad to not do that (it'll be a month when everything works like it should).
