Yesterday, we left the sitting room with this view. Today's task was to cut the channels for the wiring for the first fix electrics. I want to get the room ready for plaster. I guess this post marks a first. Mostly I post the 'during' shots. As in the room isn't at the 'untouched' stage, and it's not finished (unless it is). Some of these really are during. As in while the work's going on, rather than the 'beginning of the day' and 'end of the day' shot.
So, then, above is where we left it yesterday. Below is the same view today, in the middle of the chasing out. Good job I was wearing a face mask....
But not for this shot!
Again, lots of dust, followed by the result once the dust had settled . You can see we've not tackled the stairs yet....
This is the end of the day shot. Carpet is up and out, electrics and data points chased out, bit of a tidy up. That sofa on the right will be picked up by the council in a week or so.
A view toward the front of the house, which is the back of the room, or that's how I think about it at least. Dual aspect, or so the estate agents would have it.
This is the view towards the front door. The bottom of the porch used to be timber too. It's brick now and looks much better as it ties in with the house nicely. The dining room is on the right.
The porch is currently storing bits and bobs - mostly wiring and tiling/flooring stuff. Hope to get this finished up soon.
The porch from the outside. Very much a 'before' shot. Or kind of - the brickwork you can see wasn't there when we bought the house as above, but the rest is more or less untouched.
More soon....
