Doesn't look like much.....

but it's been another busy week!  Mr M has spent many hours painting the front door.....

We just used a satin varnish.... lots of coats later and its done...

Installed the hardware...


Varnished up the frame....

And then it was supposed to be installed today, but rain stopped play, hopefully tomorrow we should have a front door.

Terry Tidyup decided he was fed up with falling over boxes of nails and stuff so got himself organized and built some shelves, plenty of remnants of wood lying around....

Its in the downstairs bedroom closet, I hope they aren't permanent.

So apart from painting and tidying he's been cracking on with plumbing, he'll be using pex pipe and a central manifold....

Hot and cold pipes will run directly from this manifold, through the studs (lots of hole drilling) to each sink, shower, toilet etc.... using pipes, they keep it fairly obvious in the plumbing world.....

He's been putting in blocking for the "stub outs"....


And we have brought all our taps (faucets) shower heads and thermostatic shower valves.  We had to get the valves now so he can crack on with plumbing in the showers, so we decided to just knuckle down and make some decisions and get something else crossed off the list. O M G there is so much choice its overwhelming.  But decision is now made....

Not much else to report, this week we have had some proper winter weather, snow, hail, frost and sunshine....

But today normality was restored back to wind and rain, which is good as the rain count was looking a bit low for February....
