Day 385 - Carpentry

We are finally getting closer to moving in. After the builders have (mostly) finished we ended up with a list of carpentry type jobs, storage, boxing in etc.

Thanks to the wonder of Which Local  (a trade recommendation site for Which subscribers) we found Huw who is working his way through our list of jobs

So far he's built and fitted shelves for the airing cupboard in the main bathroom



Boxed in the UFH mainfold in my 'walk-in' closet


And boxed in the ethernet cables in the Den



We decided to get rid of the oversized metal cabinet that had been housing the patch panels. Instead Huw has boxed in and neatened where the cables come out of the wall and we'll position the panels inside a regular furniture unit.

Day 52 - The Wall dividing East and West Lounge goes up

Part of the changes we're making is to steal some space from the lounge to make a study/den for the boys. Somewhere they can play computer games on the laptops, do homework, play on the wii and watch what they want on the TV - not all at the same time obviously!

It's not going to be a huge room but it should be big enough for some desks at one end and a small sofa and tv at the other.


Lounge side view - this will end up being a corridor with access to the storeroom, utility room and the new lounge


Study side view - The boarding is what used to be the patio doors in the lounge. At some point they'll be a window there
