Aw, cheers!!

The bathroom hasn't progressed much in the way of fittings - The bath that's in there is the old one, just shuffled out of the way. The new one is still to be forced up the stairs (that could prove to be interesting ... it's a cast iron roll top one, lol).

But K has mounted the new boiler and laid the plumbing for everything, in preparation!

We're not having a chandelier now - I've had another idea! But that will remain a little secret for now - I want to make sure it's going to work first, lol. We're picking up the 43 components for it tomorrow

The problem that I have with wallpaper is that I will get bored of it - Or I will be really picky about the pattern in the first place!

Claw and ball?

[Bean]

Yes indeedy!

Similar to this one!

Great baths. I changed the bathroom suite in my first house in the mid 1970's. Stupidly then I broke up a roll top claw and ball foot bath to get it out. In those days they were just old and not sought after as they are now!!

Components collected ... !

Landmark day today ...

I filled up a bottle with water ... from our very own kitchen sink!!


Yep - we have water in the kitchen for the first time in about 12 months!!

[miniQ]

mmmm water

[Bean]

Erm - Indeed ... ?

Couple of quick photos!

Sockets are connected now, just not fixed into the wall ... couldn't find the long screws!





And - Fridge is in!

The kitchen is really looking great Jean! Much more to do in that room now?

[GraemeC]

Coming on nicely

I'm a little suprised by the white plastic faceplate choice though?

[Bean]

I'm not a fan of these fancy ones you can get. These match the rest of the house and are proper quality MK ones.

I think, once everything else is in there, they won't stand out so much, but I really don't like these stainless ones, or chrome ones.



Bcjames ... there's not much to do ... need to finish a bit of plaster work by the Rad. Need to paint the walls, get some blinds in ... and fit skirting board. Then its finishing touches, like door handles, plinth, under cupboard lighting and shelving!

Sounds a lot, I know ... but when you think how it started off, its nothing!



Cheers for the input guys - nice to hear feedback and comments

[mini93]

so, after the kitchen is done...much left to do till your all in annoying the neighbours with revving minis all the time? or have i missed it and ur already in?

[Scallywag630]

Nice US style fridge...all coming together beautifully.

[Bean]

David - No, you've not missed it

I hope soon! But once the heatings done & the bathroom is usable - then we'll be somewhere near, methinks!

The neighbours don't mind!



Cheers Mr Scallywag, Sir! Love the fridge, too, lol
