Renovations: Days Thirty-Six, Thirty-Seven And Thirty-Eight

The builders have begun hanging plaster!

The new spare room

Abbey's new bedroom

Insulation!

That's the most noticeable change, but the electricians have also been back installing powerpoints and light fittings. And the builders have been doing all manner of things that are fiddly and unnoticeable to me.

Meanwhile, Steve has been busy installing insulation into the walls and ceiling. This probably isn't noteworthy to most people, but our house has never before been insulated, so this should make a big difference to us. As well as the new section, Steve's going through and removing the cedar boards from the existing part of the house, bit by bit, and insulating that as well. And he's going to do the floors too.

And me? I've been shopping. I've ordered new blinds for the whole house (Roman blinds everywhere, except for the bi-fold doors which will have panel blinds), and bought a beautiful red chair for the office. This shopping really is the fun part.

Oh, and we're both doing lots and lots of painting at every opportunity as well.
