Becky spent most of the week cleaning and tidying as much as she could, and during the evenings I helped out. I will post more photos and details soon, but for now here are 2 quick photos of the master bedroom that is Job Number 1.
We dislike the floral decoration, so aim to gut the room and start from scratch. During the evenings this week we removed most of the built in wardrobes. As you can see, it already makes a difference!
All of yesterday was spent removing the last bits of wardrobe and stripping wallpaper. We also got some paint and tools from B&Q so we can start painting today! Last night we were both absolutely exhausted, but pleased with the progress so far.
We aim to get as much bedroom decoration done over the next few days, as well as move small items over to the house. Virgin media is installed tomorrow (Monday). Fridge/freezer and washing machine arrive on Tuesday. Moving larger furniture Wednesday onwards.
Lots still needs doing, but this will have to wait for a bit:
- Electrics need rewiring and a new distribution box fitted
- Gas boiler, whilst almost new and working fine, was fitted badly and needs re fitting correctly
- upgrade 3 radiators, replace 1 in the bathroom with a towel rail, and add a new one on the upstairs landing
- some cracks need filling correctly and sealing up
- lots more decorating!
A new kitchen and bathroom would be lovely, but are much further down the line.
At least we get an extra hour in bed, thanks to the end of British Summer Time! Autumn is here and winter is on its way, and we now have plenty to keep us busy over the next few years!
