Renovation project - John is better and its back to work!


Renovation project - John is better and its back to work!

John wakes today feeling a lot better, so is able to start work again, he sets too with finishing off the walls and the bathroom, everywhere has insulation, all the plaster board is up (well almost!), the waste is connected to the shower.






We cannot connect the toilet yet as we need to have a longer straight pan connector for the waste pipe.
We also have a discussion about the bedroom furniture, now that we are going to have the lovely big wooden bed, what are we going to put in there, I say nothing as I want the rooms to be coordinated and we would not be able to find matching furniture, this is when we come up with the master mind idea of building a wardrobe, the heating pipes in the bedroom need to be boxed in, so we may as well build a wardrobe at the same time.

This means that the wardrobe will be a part of the wall so will tie the bedroom together perfectly, as long as we can find a door to match. This is a bit of a worry as the doors came from a shop in Quimper and there weren’t very many left the last time we went as they were on special offer, keep your fingers crossed!

  1. Rule number one is - Buy it when you see it as you won't see it again, we have learnt this lesson the hard way Jenny, hope you find the door. :)

    1. so am I, had a bit of a panic, last thing we need is John with a bad back (I sound so heartless don't I)

      its really good to get some one else's view on it, living in it you get to the stage where you think you are getting no where.

      How's the packing going?
