Day 24 - Bannisters!

The plasterer finished off the last couple of walls today. There's a couple of things he'll be coming back for, but he can't do these until we've moved out of one of the bedrooms, which won't be happening just yet.

The big tidy up got well underway - most of the rubbish from the scaffolding is now in the skip, and the first clean of most of the plaster mess from the floors upstairs has happened. Plenty more stuff to clean up, but there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel.

Two of the access panels for the loft space have now been finished, and a bit more of the skirting board is done in the office.

Looks like our bedroom is done apart from the windowsill and the electrics now. It'll be good to have a "finished" room - at least, one ready for painting!

There's even skirting board in the cupboard...

We've chosen the flooring now, and it's come in slightly under budget which is handy - we might be able to afford to eat next month now!

The bannisters on the stairs up to the top floor have now been started. We have a fairly unique design of bannister - at least, it's not something the builders have ever seen before. The first section is in:

The plumber should be putting in the shower tray tomorrow, and we should get the bannisters finished as well. Tiling early next week, and then the rest of the bathroom can be fitted.
