Late addition of a radiator gets fitted in the storeroom - we'll have a snuggly indoor shed!
And the boiler and pressurised hot water system (aka the Megaflo) are all plumbed in.

Day 110 - Boiler & Megaflo

Day 210 - Loft ladder
Another great suggestion from Shaun was, as we've replaced all the ceilings upstairs, we could have a new loft ladder and hatch. This would give us a nice hatch that fits snugly (no losing heat into the loft) but more importantly a better loft ladder that I could actually use on my own. The old one required some dexterity with a stick and longer arms and legs than I have.
This is the new ladder sitting in the kitchen waiting to be fitted - can't wait to see how it works.

Day 210 - Bathroom update
Wall tiling has started in the main bathroom
Really pleased with how they look - glossy and gorgeous! [Although pretty dusty in these pics - trust me they're fab]

Day 202 - Ding Dong...
One of the things we thought about rather late in the build was a doorbell!
Thankfully Shaun and the guys were able to find a way to run a cable from the front door and into the central hall without mucking up any of Frank's lovely plastering

Day 202 - More Bathroom updates
The shower tray fits!
And the tiles are down in the ensuite and the furniture has mostly been built, although we do have an extra cupboard that doesn't fit! The difference between plans and actual build!
Day 202 - Bathroom progress
After weeks of weekend searching for tiles we finally got some ordered and delivered! Which meant the bathroom fit could start...
Here the floor tiles are down in the main Bathroom,the furniture is being assembled and the sanitaryware is in position, though not yet fitted in place.

Day 188 - 2nd Fix has started
Having tasked ourselves with choosing/ordering tiles for all the bathrooms this weekend we popped up to the property to do some measuring.
Paul the leccy has obviously been in some time over Christmas/NY as most of the sockets are fitted upstairs
And the new fuse box has gone in

Day 188 - Snow!
Happy New Year!
What with Christmas, New Year, the Snow and associated transport problems we've haven't been up to the property much and not much has been happening on site
