Small steps.

Work on the flat is progressing, there have been lots of runs to the tip with rotten wood and the kitchen units etc. Bob and the plumber have been in a good deal but it still is very much a building site and although we do a bit each weekend its never very much...the sun shines or there is some event on, so I can't really quibble that its going so slowly lacking the drive of the Hill Farm team and having to also make sheep and garden in a rush of Spring fever, but...

So nice to get rid of the rotten old units and the lino, there literally was shiny patches of water underneath, the plan is to let as much air into everywhere as possible now. The new floor going down in the kitchen should really make a difference. The skylight is already making the room so much nicer and brings light in at the bottom of the stairs too.

Part way through the bathroom works and the rotten floorboards here have been repaired, very glad we didn't just run a bath an jump in, we would have ended up in the room below. Unfortunately the plumber has had to pull up a few more boards and obviously that is not his forte, I mean I know I'm not an expert but he does seem to have cut holes in the wrong places and has yet to lift a board without ripping it. Luckily this is the one room where the boards will be covered by some sort of vinyl.
