Barn Works Latest - Rapid Progress

Things are happening fast at The Barn now. The place was full of people yesterday - electricians, joiners and a decorator - all busy getting the last bits done. The staircase problem is 'sorted', and it really looks like the interior will be substantially finished by the weekend, as promised. The plumber is due to visit - possibly today -  to make some final connections and get the new central heating commissioned.

Here's yesterday evening's photos -

Most of the doors are fitted. We made a good choice of the style - we really like these
The double doors between the upstairs sitting room and Sue's playroom
will eventually be glazed with stained glass panels,
but we are planning to pay the building bill
before splashing out on 'extras',
as we suspect we have gone over budget a bit!
The staircase looks much better now!
This in the new opening above the stairs - it just squeezes in.
Note how close it is to the ground floor roof joists,
one of which has been notched to give the maximum possible head height
Being able to pop in every day means I can usually spot when something isn't quite right.
Here, one light switch was fitted the wrong side of the door,
and the other one would have been covered by the door when open -
but all easily put right at this stage.
This is the living room... Still a bit of tidying to do!
Note - one new wall light fitted!
