Last Week's Progress

Well now our Joiner is away to South Africa for a fortnight we have to get in the electrician, builder and plumber before he gets back. Planning and organisation is KEY! Our house is starting to look different.
The plasterboard went up on our new wall in the living room and the builder now needs to come and knock down the existing walls to create a big hall. The boys' cupboard was boarded up hence the mess (we then went to mums for the night). The Velux windows arrived and all that means to me is 'Let's look for blinds', and G spent the afternoon yesterday stripping the attic completely while I took the boys on a bike run. This the  resulted in a leak coming through the boys bedroom light fitting from a radiator that was connected to the system.
Struggling with the mess but still excited with the progress.

Day 1 of the attic conversion

I say that this is day one but this has actually been in the pipeline since our first plans were drawn in 2010.  Now 5 years later the plans have been amended, building warrant granted and money saved and we are ready to begin.  Today the wall went up in the living room to make the it smaller and the hall bigger to accomodate the new stairs.  It will be a fun climbing frame tonight for the boys at least! I'm feeling super excited at this moment!
