And we've got walls!

Our home is definitely coming on, again with pretty amazing speed. In last night's post, I mention that it would be wonderful if we had walls up....and sure enough ALL walls are up. My little boy and I wandered through the downstairs of the house today and were amazed to see the rooms come to life. It is amazing what plaster can do!

Here are some photos as promised:

The kitchen- the heart of our home! The opening there is the butler's pantry



And here is the butler's pantry all plastered



And the soul of the house- the library!

Not happy about the window here or the one in our main bedroom- I wish we had paid more attention to the plans. I don't like how they open out! It's too late to do anything about them, without incurring more charge, so we are going to have to live with them! If you are thinking of building, pay attention to everything, including windows....Serves us right for being such busy people and overlooking important things like that!

Now the front of the house is looking like this at the moment:

The front cladding still needs to be done (perhaps by the end of this week) and of course the render facade needs to be painted! A few more things on the outside and then the chippy arrives to build the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry! Oh did I mention that the brick is growing on me....
