An update on OUR house

Has been all go for a wee while again. Lots of finishing stuff now, where to stop - already worried about what to do when I 'finish' (Jodie says 'that's enough').

 The house has been re-leveled.
 Lovely, nice and level in this direction). OVerall, not perfect, but good. Close enough and all the doors still work. Had to drop it down again along a central wall to get doors to work after the contractor's made everything perfectly level.
 A1 plastering..
 A few touch-ups required.



 Quite a lot in this room.




 Pretty perfect.
 Went for a new colour in the hall when we painted the bottom of the 3rd room, loved the colour and carried on.
 And a new wall colour in hall, slight hint of green / olive in the white.
 Vinyl now in bathroom and laundry. Flooring not quite in a state to be sanded and finished.

 Photo at a distance, love it, bit sad it was cut in two.
 New rug.
 Another rug, apparantly boring, but there is nothing wrong with that sometimes. Really was enough going on in there.

 Nice bit of panelling to stop people kicking my wallpaper.
New washing machine and laundry sink. small nightmare with window and sill. Splashback to go around to match kitchen.
Wallpapering to go around entire room now in bed 3, tartan.

The front deck and front steps are to be painted - opinions please on colour - grey, red, black.

 A touch of shopping, in an afternoon.

 The perpetual line of traffic behind us, 'it's a limit, you don't have to go the speed'.
 Board in the back, beach, classy.
