Carpets arrived in stock & decorator hired

2 weeks ago we ordered carpet & kitchen flooring. This has now arrived & is in stock waiting 'for the word' from us.
Received a quote from the decorator (only 1 received, despite asking 3 people)He can start in a couple of weeks so hopefully Dave will have finished all the little plastering jobs so that he can start. I think there will be plenty for him to do whilst Dave 'tidies up'.. must coordinate with him.

Windows looking good!

The windows are going in quite fast, but poor Dave has been abandoned by his nephew in order to take a crash course of driving lessons!
It's a week since he started putting in the windows & he's finished the kitchen & main bedroom (both of which are quite large & therefore several going in)He is now half way through the lounge windows. Should finish those by today. That will just leave the front bedroom & ensuite & porch/utility. The front door goes in later, as we are taking a connecting door out, from between the 2 properties & using this.

1st windows in!!

After a delayed start, we have finally started putting in the new hardwood windows & already they look pretty good, without glass in too! It is going to make such a difference to the look of the cottage.
Dave has stopped what he was doing & hopefully is going to 'crack on' with the windows.
He has almost finished the units he's designed in the porch & almost finished the patio!Let's hope he finishes the windows!! Only kidding Dave.
Though we have stopped the leaking gutters by replacing them, i think i'm going to have to try & scrub the green stains off, down the wall.
