Day 246 - Hall coats cupboard

Our new coat cupboard takes shape



 

It made sense to build something into this space as there's a soil downpipe on the right hand side that had to be boxed in so we decided to extend it into a shallow cupboard for coats and shoes. There's a drawer at the bottom (to hide things away) and a cupboard at the top (which also hides the fuse box aka consumer unit!)

The coat hooks will be somewhat shielded by a covering panel and have been designed so people who are 5 foot nothing can still reach them!

Both the drawer and cupboard have catchless closings, although they're not working very smoothly yet...

Day 97 - Sticky plaster?

We popped round to the property for a meeting with the electrician (think of a number of sockets and double it!)

The plaster has gone from the hallway and landing (as well as the carpet)






No, I don't know what the loo roll is there for either... probably best not to think about it too much!

as well as the wall between the boys room and bathroom (the plaster was so badly popped on this wall it was held on by the wallpaper!)




and between the boys room and my study (the wall that moved when Shaun pushed the door)


More of the old external wall from our bedroom has come down


And this big crack in the stairwell will have to be 'stitched' with some metal spines.
