Our Bedroom and Ensuite

The builders are concentrating on getting our bedroom and ensuite done, so it's been full-on with plastering, windows being fitted, shower, toilet, sink etc all being installed. The ensuite is long and thin, as these pictures maybe show: 

And here's a couple of the bedroom:

Mid September

So, it's 16 September 2013 and building work continues. Nothing very exciting visually, which is why I haven't posted anything much recently. 

The big move last Thursday was breaking through from the upstairs extension into the existing upstairs hallway. I came home just as they were cleaning up - very dusty! 

Here's a before and after :

Window before the knock-through

After knock-through - door into extension

Insulation has been going in upstairs today, and some of the bedroom/ensuite walls have plasterboard up. We have to make decisions about shower door and sink this week.

Tomorrow the windows are arriving (apparently!). That'll make a difference in terms of warmth and visual appreciation. 

I'll take some photos of the bedroom and ensuite once there's a bit more to see.

Our First Year!

On Saturday 31st August we celebrated having lived in this house for a year. Well, we didn't really celebrate as such, but it did give pause for thought at least. The year has flown by! 

So, back to the extension, lots has been going on, not all of it visible from the outside. The main thing to see is the roof has been started. There's also been some wall building, but this is mainly round the back and not easy to photograph. Anyway, here's a selection of photos showing how things looked around 29/30/31 August 2013:
