A lot happened on site today! The timber floor was laid in the hallway. A hatch was then cut out to make storage under the floor. I have been banned from referring to it as a trapdoor by Ciaran(!) but I like to think I have a trapdoor in my house!!! It's sounds like the start of a story........... "Entry to the other realm is by the trapdoor in the hallway......." Sorry I am digressing! Back on track now >>> The floor is made of oak and will be stained a dark colour and then sealed.
Off-site the corten steel has finally been cut and will be delivered to the house tomorrow. It will be hung on stainless steel brackets tomorrow to form a seal on the outside of the house. Once we get the building water tight the finish line is only a couple of weeks away!!!
The shutter boxes for the downstairs windows were started and should be completed shortly. The finishing touches to the concrete floor will be done next week - the brass expansion joints will be polished up and then the hardener will go on to the floor. Three layers of hardener will be needed to give the polished look to the concrete floor.
We are hopeful that the painter/decorator will be in next week. He is scheduled to come on Monday to do the white undercoat throughout the house. Ciaran met with the colour specialist from Dulux paints today to discuss paint. She took samples of the chosen wallpaper to make paint matches for the ceilings.
Things are certainly moving so fingers crossed it will all go smoothly!
Photos please!
