Finishing up

I'm going to declare the day-to-day writing o this thiing over. Last week the skip left, thank goodness. This week Tim finished off the floorboards at the top of the stairs and the last piece of shower glass is in, but wobbly. There remains various bits of painting to finish off, which we trust will happen before too long.

Perhaps we can start putting the house back together for living in now...

Day 345-350. Mostly painting

Mostly painting this week, and we're mostly finsihed now. As I believe is traditional, they are leaving a few irritating bits of stuff unfinished but hopefully will get done sometime.

Tim has boxed in the electric and gas meters in the hallway, making a rather nice looking cupboard out of it faced in the floorboards. Les the tiler has tiled the bath end in his standard not-exactly-brilliant fashion; and it needs some filler to stop leaks; but it will do.

Remaining: tidy up outside; a bit more painting (esp the stairs); uncover the stair treads; and do the floorboards at the top of the stairs. A days work if they actually set to doing it - any guesses for how long in practice?
