White lines

This post may well take over as the one that has my favourite photos.  A week of relentless activity by painters, tilers and electricians.  Plus a bit of fine tuning on the doors so they function correctly.  We go up most nights, but the best photos come in the daylight the weekends provide.

Aside from all the great work that is ongoing, the scaffold was taken away which means the front of the house looks a whole lot better.

Anyway, tiling first.  The bathrooms were tiled the previous week, so it is now about the rest of the house which are having the same tile.  Here are some photos of the tile starting to appear around the rest of the house, firstly the back room, by day and night....


The photo above also demonstrates the fact the lights are being fitted.

The next photo, looking back at the kitchen shows off the tiles better:



The master bedroom has also had much of its tiling done, see below for the tiling through into the dressing room, you can just about make out the room has been painted as well:



The master en-suite has come on a treat, seeing the tiles, the painting and units/mirrors all finished provided a highlight this week.


There was a bit of snow and ice on the ground on Saturday morning, it showed the house in a different light, it showed how pretty the outlook will be, even in coldest winter.  Here are some gratuitous snow shots:


If you look closely you will see other aspects being completed, outside lights and power points.




And finally, my 2 favourite photos of the whole build so far.  The first one shows off some of the different finishes and the craftsmanship that has gone into the build.  Also, now the scaffolding has gone it is the first time we have been able to admire the stone corner:


The second one is more abstract and probably captures the essence of everything the architect was trying to achieve.  Clean lines, contemporary feel, a mix of materials and best use of awkward land.  This was taken tonight, dark outside and lights on.  What you cannot see is the all the rubbish  and tools lying around as the room has not been completely painted.  But this is a glimpse of what the house will look and feel like....


This photo runs them both close to be fair...








Get well soon Brian...
