    I could reassemble the huge antique chandelier ive been asked to sell for friend :cool:
    I could start to make the roman blinds for the hall windows..:cool:

    I was painting too. :D Still the barn doors. DW was on the new front door. I was on cheapo undercoat. She was on Farrow and Ball.

    In the morning, I had the impression from the brief weather forecast on Radio 4 that many areas were still shrouded in mist, but I was baking down there in temperatures over 20c again. In fact the paint was drying too fast for my liking.:(

    Mr Dog gave me dogs all morning, so this afternoon I gave him chain saw and made enough free logs to last all week. :p

    In between, Horse Woman gave everyone horse racing....:cool:The people who were renting next to her have just moved out after only 6 months. :rotfl:

    I'll put up pictures eventually. The kitchen could be soon, when the other oven is installed. :)

    Everything else is still a work in progress to a greater or lesser degree. For example, the hallway is done, except for the rather obvious open section of wall, where 15 wires descend to the consumer unit! :eek:

    We will be working on this place for another year yet. Indoors there is 'only' decoration and the small matter of installing 2 more bathrooms, but outside there's drains, roofing rendering and a conservatory....maybe. :o

    We won't mention hard landscaping! It always is. :rotfl:
