The kitchen is where it's at in terms of the real work, but lots of other things progress too.
Floor in the boot room.
Tiling and floor in the en-suite. Remember the en suite was a bedroom before:
Loo and basin in en-suite. Looks like they're different colours - it's a trick of the light.
It's actually functional now, but needs finishing off.
The plumbing has cracked on. This is nothing like it is now! What this illustrates is the perfectly crap job the plumber did of connecting up the shower pump that feeds the en-suite. Those white pipes should not have been used at all - it's supposed to be all copper. And 22mm copper, not 15. The search for a decent plumber continues....
All the plumbing that's been done since then has been done by me.
I removed the hot water cylinder (as the boiler's been removed anyway - I did that too!). This was the airing cupboard:
Few less pipes:
The two hot water cylinders in the loft are now in action. Bit of a false start, as we were supplied some pretty crummy immersion heaters to go in them. I got a pair of 36" jobs and wired them in instead via some time switches. So we have hot water, just no heating. Not a bother at the moment, but will soon be a problem if we cant't find the elusive decent plumber.
Updating this has reminded me of how many photos remain untaken. Have to do something about that.
Finally, here's a view of the house from the garden, and the garden from the house:
In the house one, you can see the little shelter thing over the back door. Makes all the difference to the look of that door.
