Progress

It's a dreich Sunday afternoon, so I've spent a couple of hours downloading photos and catching up whilst sat next to the stove......and this is August weather??? So at last, here are some photos of the progress of the build, it's coming on but the rain hasn't helped over the last week.

Everyone keeps asking me if we'll be finished before the babe arrives, do you think we'll be finished in 8 weeks..........?





This is our bath for the main bathroom, salvaged from our friends garden, they rescued it from a flat in Edinburgh, but had 3 to choose from so we got this one for a box of beer!!!! The feet have to come off and be cleaned up and I'm planning on painting the underneath a nice Cornflower/Forget - me - not blue, another job to add to the list!
The windows arrived on Friday afternoon, after a little bit of humming and hawing I decided I liked them........good job eh!
Enjoy the week ahead, fingers crossed the weather is a bit better!

Hi Lisa! Lovely to see you on Saturday, and looking so well! The piccies are a lovely idea, but, um, not sure about the 8 weeks deadline!

Haha...of course you'll be finished...have you never watched, Changing Rooms. DIY SOS or 60 Minute Makeover...they do it all the time!!

Really, I hope things can crack on a bit more for you now that we are having a little bit more nicer weather.

That bath looks amazing...I can just see it blue underneath with lovely clean feet.

Good luck with it all.

Hi Lisa! What a lot of work.... but just think how nice it will be once its all complete. Cornflower blue/ forget-me-not blue will set your bath off beautifully. Hope your pregnancy is going well....not long now!! I'm due in Jan...so i'm half way there, and so excited! Take Care x

thank you, Lisa and friends and family, for a lovely afternoon at 'Primrose Hill' - for cupcakes, chooks and encouraging conversation about blogs, not to mention all the mouthwatering crafts filling your studio. The boys had a brilliant time and told daddy all about it (especially the ducks and chickens) when we got home.

Hope you have a great 'open' week and don't get too exhausted trying to do it all AND grow a baby!
Best wishes
Kate
