Bricks to the front of the house have been cleaned and repointed. Ciaran specified that tuck pointing should be used on the pointing - when you get up close to the pointing you can see an indented line all the way around the pointing - an element that might be missed but as Architect Mies Van Der Rohe said "God is in the details"
The back wall has been cleaned down and repointed - Ciaran has made it a feature of the house with the back wall being made of glass and built right up to this natural stone wall. I think it is one of his favourite things in the house!
We are nearing the end of the main building works - lists of what has to be done in each room have been put up on the plastered walls.
Some of our new lights ready for fitting in the bathroom
Current state of the bathroom
This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!
