Stair Handrail

Did all the preparation and drilling last weekend but had to wait for the paint to dry before I could put the new handrail up on the stairs. No more dirty hand marks on the wall now hopefully.

Lucie and I were looking at original photos of the house last night, its amazing how things have changed.

Spare Room

After waiting for Lucie to start feeling a bit better, we've finally started on the spare room. Paul and Maz came round on Friday and started filling cracks on the ceiling and walls before we start lining. Maz made some good headway on the garden too.

I've removed the old architrave from around the door, done some final steaming, removed the remainder of the old cupboard and finished the filling.

Kitchen Pan Rack

I finally got the pan rack up in the kitchen. The pots and pans have been laying around in the dining room,  so it's good to get them hanging up and easily accessible.

Brass light switch

We've not been doing much around the house while Lucie has been ill. I put up some brass light fittings today that I've been meaning to do for a while now.

You can see my eyes in the switches and the lounge wallpaper in the background.

Brass fittings

Done a few odd jobs around the house today, put the handle on the lounge door as you can see above.

Also hung the other bronze hall light at the top of the stairs and changed the light switches in the hallway for bronze ones. Getting a nice consistency running through the house now.

Mounted the TV on the wall

I mounted the tellie on the wall in the lounge yesterday. I was a bit worried when the drill went in for the top hole, it was a bit too much like cutting butter with a hot knife. I think it was just between two bricks though as its still up on the wall this morning :-)

Need to cover up the wires now.

Log store

Built our log store yesterday. This was bought for us by Lucie's godmother as a moving in gift but we only found one recently. Now we need to get some logs so they can season before Winter.

Looking forward to using the woodburners later this year!
