Exciting times. Today was Saturday and we were round the house most of the day tinkering with the burglar alarm and buying door furniture for the front door.

The (green) thermal paint on the kitchen floor is now dry and the underfloor heating cable went down today. Once it was secured, it was time for the (big, cream) kitchen tiles to get measured up.

First tile to get the level and the position:

Green paint

Island marked out (slightly wrongly, but it’ll do for now)

Contemplating the tile:

Level is v. important and the floor itself turns out not to be:

Bannister:

Study is nice and clean:

Radiator:

Tools:

The fireplaces look much nicer “blacked”:

Guest bedroom sorted:

Clean door:

Loft bannisters:

Loft bathroom sink snags finally sorted:

Towel rail (now without chipped tile):

Grouted panel above the cistern: 

Shower:

And outside, Peter and crew have removed the “raised flowerbed” (without finding any body):

Much more space now:

Tiles go down:

Adhesive:

Powelly works on defusing the bomb: (and we wire up the PIR sensors)
