Barn Works Latest - We have stairs!

...but most of the good news ends there...

The bad news is that the unexpected thickness of the wall beside the front door means the stairs start further into the hall than originally planned, so it has now been noticed that the hole that was made in the wall for the stairs to pass through is not high enough. Surprisingly, no-one spotted this sooner! The problem is not insurmountable, but inevitably involves a further delay. Work has already begun to remove recently fitted plasterboard and studwork, and on Monday the lintels and a bit more wall will be removed, then the lintels replaced about about 350mm higher up, and the whole lot made good again.

There has been good progress elsewhere though. The walls are pretty much all finished round the new windows, and both the decorator and electrician have been back to fill gaps and fit switches. Upstairs is looking almost finished (though my decorating task stretches ahead...)!!!

This is looking into the upstairs sitting room from the dressing area in our bedroom
look - light switches and power points installed!

Sue's playroom and its view - the black bit visible through the lower
part of the window is my shed roof. The shed will be moved soon,
revealing a view of our lawn and flower beds.
