Halfway through...

Here's some pics from last week.

Firstly, the snug - still lots to do there. But at least there's no crazy inside-outside roofing. And then, the main room - this pic here has the full wall of green - since then we've decided to have a lighter colour on the walls. After that: builders have coffee, y'know. And then, Steve Conway, project manager extrordinaire, and Warren, who needs no introduction (because he's so good). Steve is showing off a newly finished tile. Warren, on the other hand, is checking out his phone for ladies' numbers...


There's still so much to do, and the countdown is truly starting to hurt. We're now part way through putting the place back together. We've started painting the main room. However, the. kitchen is slowing us down, as we're still to build the stud wall. We're getting the kit together slowly but surely. The plasters & decorators are telling me not to put wallpaper directly on to new plaster (and where do i put it then??); the original upholstery choice for the booth seating isn't going to be in til september, meaning we've got to choose another one; and as for the outside sign...apparently, the design we've chosen makes every sign maker west of the moon suck their teeth. Teeth sucking is a sound i'm getting used to...

In the meantime, Silas has grown several inches, and can now roll over both ways and seems to move himself about a metre one way or the other every time my back's turned. I'm also slightly peturbed by the language he's learning from the builders. He could come out with anything...I better go and read him something less 'colourful' now...
