The build

Another busy day with very little to show for it. The 3 rooms that have been boarded are now all screwed up and taped. Barry ( the air source man ) has been busy collecting some of the pipes together that he fitted on Friday.

I do like colours but I know not everyone does.

I love colours and having grown up in the tropics really miss the vibrancy of the colours there but I've been conditioned by staid, boring P for too many years and lack the confidence to experiment, so I end up with staid, boring decorations. It was a nightmare just chosing the colour for the living room repaint. My indecisiveness and his lack of adventure made life very stressful. I'm sure P would love minimalistic boring, beige everything.   Anything for an easy life.

What colour did you go with for your living room?

Lots more happened today a lot of the living room has been boarded. Not bad for just an afternoon’s work.      .
Barry has made things look very complicated and industrial in the plant room/ cupboard.       I didn’t think I liked the industrial look. But I kinda do. Mostly because it’s ours I think.

Wow! That's complicated pipe work. Its like one of those puzzles where you have to find your way from A to B without touching C.

Pale and boringly conservative.  It was called  Ghostly from the Albany range and basically a pale green/yellow colour. If I had the courage (and support from P) I'd have gone for an accent wall in a deeper green but it wasn't to be.

That is some really great workmanship. Quite an artwork.

Yeah he’s very good. We see his finished work in a friend’s new build. We decided then and there we didn’t want anyone else.

Only a small amount of plasterboard progress today. As it was just Bob and only for the morning. So he finished the little bits between wall and ceiling in the living room       
More progress in the plant room / cupboard we now have a control panel and switches     

Living room is finished apart from around the beam. We’re not aloud to leave beams exposed       

Porch well underway     

This has been installed today      

A bit more happened in the cupboard today also. The most noticeable thing is our heating system has been turned on
