Avec doors

We’ve had a great weekend of friends, football, fine food and fun at the house!

Our long-term lodger, Debs, is leaving us on Monday and Julie was visiting this weekend, so today was the perfect opportunity to exploit, I mean have assistance, at the house.

We were all present, along with Graham and Beth, at Newcastle United’s victory yesterday.  Sitting right down by the corner flag where Carroll celebrated his equaliser.

Today we all descended upon the house along with Mary and Dave to continue stripping, painting and cleaning.  We have now had the house 2 months and next week should hopefully see the end to wallpaper stripping.  It’s been a long time coming.

As you can see from the new photos the French doors were fitted last week, we are still waiting for them to be finished.  We now have a consumer unit instead of the old fuse box and the remaining building work should be finished in the coming week.  Plastering is set to commence in 2 weeks.

The “in by Christmas meter” is currently on a 7 out of 10.

    Well Christmas is coming and bells will be ringing. Then of course there was Dancer “the brown nosed reindeer”. He was behind Rudolph, but could not stop fast enough.
