At first the hallway felt very grand in scale (Peter said it felt like a hospital corridor) but after a few hours we felt more comfortable with it - it is certainly one of the key architectural features of the house. However, we have realised that one of the consequences of deleting the false ceilings on the west side of the house is that the ceilings of the alcoves onto the corridor on the west side will be at a different height to the alcoves on the east side. This seems to unbalance the corridor and we have decided to reinstate the false ceilings in these alcoves spaces.

| The fireplace and surrounding walls have been received the first plaster coat |
 |
| The walls and ceiling in the kitchen and dining room have been gyprocked. |
 |
| We are very pleased with the wall that acts as a divider between the kitchen and the lounge. There was a lot of discussion with the architect as to whether this should be solid or see-through. We think that the solid appearance looks great |
