the face of defeat. 3rd architect and another terrible unusable design. No maximising of space, innovation or thinking about practical living, yet another design where a toilet is off a main room and guests get to go to a toilet where everyone else can hear them. This one gets one more chance, then I may just give up.
So much wasted space and impractical design.

Swipe to see the transformation I took the carpet in the front entrance up because it was getting really dirty with all the Reno and one cat hating it.
The concrete below needs replacing so today I put in some vinyl as a temporary floor cover. #renovation #1920srenovation #entrancerenovation

It has taken a while but I finally feel like I am progressing in the office.
The plasterers re plastered the walls and today I painted, the floor was prepped this morning for the lvt floor going down tomorrow afternoon.
Each day the inspectors had to check it out, swipe to see them and let me know if you think they like it.
The colour is custom to match the cabinets going in, the ceiling is a warm white.

Samples arrived but I am not allowed to look at them, they are now Alex’s bed.
She is recovering from her amputation, eating and sleeping lots, not cuddling as much as I would like.

This is a litter box for one of the cats who likes privacy, if he uses it then I will buy a second one (one for upstairs and another for downstairs) if any are left, and paint them to match the rooms they are in

Work this week on the office and long bedroom. Swipe to view.
Have had the fireplace cleared and looking for an electric one to go in that looks traditional.
Had the door to the office moved and going put a barn door on that, which will give the room more space.

New curtains are up. Very long and heavy but the cats like to sleep on the bottom of them so may leave long.

I moved my temporary bed into the new bedroom. Once the wardrobe doors are in then will arrange for my bed to come out of storage.
Swipe to view the making of the bed:
- bring in the folding double camp bed
- add a futon on the top
- then a mattress topper
- fitted sheet
- duvet and pillows
- then the cat stairs get added to help the old, and lazy cats get on the bed

Woodworm holes found in the floor boards so they put down gel, 3 days later it is still wet. I have had to wipe it off with paper towels. Hopefully it will dry tomorrow need to paint, the skirting boards need to go up and the builder has a couple of bits to do. Fingers crossed

Using my new whiteboard to stay organised. Had a bit of a surprise today that there is old woodworm in the floor of the bedroom so had to get that treated today. The door is closed until the gel drys so the cats don’t get in. So hopefully pictures tomorrow!
