Day 347 - Carpet Fitting Still Life

You may have noticed lots of bits on the flooring pics - it seems when new carpet is fitted you're left with all these little bits - I found them strangely compelling

Day 347 - We have flooring

Today and tomorrow the flooring gets fitted - laminate in the hallway and kitchen/diner

Midway through fitting here


Vinyl in my study


Carpet on the stairs...



Laminate under the stairs - which was previously just concrete


Kitchen/Diner


Upstairs Hallway into the main Bathroom


Comparison of the two carpet colours upstairs - we have darker in the hallway/lounge and slightly lighter in the bedrooms.  Yes, they are quite similar!  I prefer to say toning!


Main Bedroom


My mini walk-in closet


Utility Room - same vinyl as my study



Where three floors meet...

Day 347 - Garden guest

Found this fellow in the garden when I went to move the skirting boards I was *storing* there



Over the years we've seen several frogs in the garden - seems strange as there's no water nearby. And I don't think he's big enough to eat slugs.

Day 345 - Flooring prep

Before the new floor could be fitted we had to take up the old floor in the Kitchen/Diner.

So here's some pics of how it looked


The boxing in around the kitchen unit was fitted on top of the old flooring so it had to taken off.  Another job to add to the carpentry list

Day 343 - Bathroom roundup

The en-suite shower is working!  I know you can't exactly see that in the picture - but just take my word for it!

And the lovely rust proof but expensive chrome plated brass storage got fitted



The above mirror lights have been moved so they're at the same level (don't ask)


The loo roll holders have been fitted (using the special water cooled drill to cut through the tiles)



And we have a flush on the toilet!

Day 343 - Front door is finished!

The front door is fitted and treated. The ceiling is finished and light is fitted and working. And the porch has been tiled.

It's so nice to have to use a proper key to get into the house

Day 318 - Shower cubicle

And in more good news our 3rd shower cubicle has finally been delivered and fitted

The first one was the correct type in the wrong size, the second was the right size but the wrong style (and unfortunately got fitted by the builders)

Finally we have the right type in the right size - hooray


it's a bit difficult to see as the bathroom isn't really big enough to get far enough away for a decent pic

Hooray - another major item to cross off the snagging list.
