Photos from week starting 10th October

At last our front door arrived.  The good news is that the door looks great; the bad news is that the glass panel that is next to the door was made incorrectly and will need to be replaced.

However, the painter made really good progress inside this week and is not far off from being finished.



The front door has been installed as well as the steps leading up to it.

One of the sliding doors painted in Still White



One of the hinged doors, also in Still White



The skirting boards have been painted as well



Nearly all the internal walls have been painted - the colour is Ocean Pearl



The book shelves in the study are complete apart from the handles on the drawers



This is a little cupboard door next to the oven. 
It opens up for the full height of the unit and we are going to use it to store chopping boards



The remaining glass panels in the bathroom shower have been installed



The wall niche is also lined in glass



Fitting the flyscreens around the window openers is tricky.  The builder has come up with this neat solution of fitting an aluminium channel to the frame.



The channel will be powder coated in white and the flyscreen will sit on top of it



The ballustrade posts and handrail have been fitted along the walkway



and around the terrace



Door have been fitted to the equipment room



Some more steps have been installed up to the west terracing



The step lights have been installed

We started planting up some of the raised beds



These are strawberries.  They will need some netting put over them to keep the birds off

 

More work has been done to prepare the driveway



Side boards have been installed along the edge of the driveway

Admiring the house. Not long until we can do this every day
