Home straight
I've just come out of the shower after finishing the taping and jointing and filling in the final bedroom. I'm glad that marathon is over. Well in one gite anyway. At this stage we've decided to concentrate on getting one gite finished then move on to the other side. Progress is good...
The kitchen is almost finished. All the floor and wall cabinets are fitted (except cupboard fronts to avoid damage). Worktops on, splashbacks tiled, walls and ceiling painted. A local company came this week to fit the propane gas supply for the cooker. The propane bottle lives outside and the supply to the cooker has all it necessay safety devices and stopcocks fitted.
The main downstairs living area is all tiled and grouted, walls taped and jointed and have received an emulsion undercoat ready for the top coats.
The two upstairs en-suite bathrooms are painted and tiled thoughout and have all the sanitaryware fitted and working. Just a few finishing touches.
The two upstairs bedrooms have been taped and jointed and are ready for painting. Most probably start that tomorrow.
There is still quite a bit to do :-
- Finish painting
- Paint internal doors
- Fit all the electric sockets, switches etc.
- Ceiling insulation
- Laminate flooring upstairs
- Skirting boards throughout
- Paint and fit architraves
- Tint and oil the staircase
- Connect up the bathroom extractor fans
- Buy and fit the cooker and dishwasher
- General cleaning
- Curtains
- Move in furniture
Doesn't look too bad if you read it quick.
