A few weeks since the last post and the first fix electrics are complete. So now the underfloor heating and MVHR (mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system) are going in.

| Underfloor heating for first floor |
The porch is also on and most of the cladding and guttering.

| The year the frame was built carved into the porch |
 |
| There's a small acorn carved into the post at the back of the porch |
The first floor stud walls are in and the plasterboard is going in the bedrooms over the garage.
The laundry chute is under construction.
We've had the week off work and have managed to make some good progress in finalising the kitchen design, choosing bathroom tiles and sourcing bathroom counter tops. We also found an oak wash stand in a clearance sale, which we're going to use for our ensuite shower room.
We've tried out a few sofas and beds this week, which we'll need to order soon. We went to the ideal home exhibition today and came away having put a deposit down on a cooker, fridge freezer and wine chiller. Julian was also very tempted by the pizza ovens!!
