I can't believe how quickly the time has gone but It's just about four weeks since we got the keys and already a huge amount has been done at the house. And not just the sorting and clearing and cleaning. We have been lucky enough to find a gem of a builder, Paul Hart, who knows a thing or two about renovations and knows a few useful people.
He arranged for the plasterer, Tim, (who's easily spooked, by the way) to come in and get to work on the bedrooms, bathroom and landing, which meant that we had to get on and get all the wallpaper, picture rail and skirting off. We were literally clearing up as he was starting work!
The bathroom has been cleared of all sanitary ware and Hugh has got off all the tiles. We salvaged the 70's toilet roll holder, complete with toilet roll, and I presented it to our good friends, Jo and Andrew who love all things 70's! Needless to say, they loved it!
Scaffolding has been erected around half the house so that the roofers can start work on taking off the roof tiles, replace the felt and batons and put the cleaned tiles back on.
BT have been and repaired the faulty line so we have both phone and internet and the plumber has been to service the boiler. The skip has been filled to bursting and has been collected and replaced with another 7 yard skip!
So it's all looking good and we feel like we've made a lot of progress.
