BbbbbIiiiiGggggg bath....

Well, it's here, and they got it upstairs!

It's 2000mm x 1250mm and it is now a Bath Room, not a bathroom! The big silver blob on the side is a combined overflow and filler, and you turn it to open/close the waste underneath:


The bath is an Airspa, so it's not a jacuzzi, it blows hot or cold air into the bath so there are no jets for little fingers or toes to poke, just watering can style rose holes on the bath base. Here is all the compressors and gubbins:




We have bought some tap heads to go with it but they look so small, we're putting them on the box surround, not on the bath itself, they are about 1 inch square:

That sink!

Well, it arrived today..... a bit unusual, but nothing special.........hmmm.

A Blanco Modus M-90 in Anthracite Silgranit apparently!















Maybe this makes the point a bit better!!!! IT IS HEEUUGE..... What a beast.



The oven is nice, but pretty ordinary in comparison - hopefully they'll deliver the other one soon!



Geoff has had a busy day! The porch looks great even without glass and a roof.


And the Bow window looks nice all lit up!

Tomorrow is BATH DAY!!!!! Wahey.

Painting... at last

It's been a busy weekend. The main room plaster has dried so we have been painting - the first time I have wished we didn't have the vaulted ceiling with the Velux!

Anyway, the electrics are progressing - although not fast enough!! This is the current meter and fuse board.....


Soon to be replaced by this monster!!!

We've started stripping the stairwell since it was a mixture of fresh plaster and textured wall-paper.

Here is the main room in it's new white livery - I need a wide angle lens !!!!


Some of the kitchen units are here, ready and waiting


And on Saturday this arrived. We were worried that it woudl look huge in the house, but it looks quite small - maybe we should have bought a bigger one ;-)


Yes - this was that much fun to paint.



Parlo has been putting skirting boards and architrave on - what a difference it makes. Now it's starting to look like a room.
