Oh my goodness!


It won’t be long now! Our houses are having the heating put in now. It is so exciting.


We had a little look around the site Saturday afternoon. The insulation on the floor is down in both houses. Sabrina and Keirans also has the pipe work down, on the floor, for the heating systems.

We had to be ultra careful not to squash the pipe work while walking around. The floor should be screeded soon to cover the pipe work. We are so looking forward to a nice toasty house and will not miss our radiators at all. We will be able to place the furniture anywhere.


 What do most people use their radiators for anyway? Apart from heating the house they become a dumping ground for all people’s pants and socks. There is nothing worse than popping into a friend’s house for a cup of tea and watching them frantically take their string underwear off the radiator, while the kettle boils.


The coving is almost finished and an undercoat of paint is on most walls. Just kitchens and bathrooms to fit and we can move in.

 Nicola has packed her first box of Stargate DVD’s in the hope that she doesn’t have to watch that rubbish for at least 1 month or more. It will also be the last box we unpack!


Next thing on the packing list Stephens Spock ears. (He doesn’t really have any of those but it is a standing joke that he is sci-fi obsessed)

Plastered!


When things inside the house start to happen everything moves forward at an alarming rates.




Bedroom



I now have a few more pictures of upstairs as we have staircases so Nicola can get up there and take photos. Normally she would be crying at the top of a ladder and watching the other people around her roll around laughing at her pathetic behaviour.








The houses are really coming on with plastering on the walls and even details like switches and coving.




Things are so close now it seems like only a little while ago this place was a massive overgrown garden full of brambles and rubble.
