Kitchen floor in...

The kitchen feels like a kitchen now. They got the floor done in a few hours, and it is brilliant. The laundry needs some more work on it around the 100mm or so up the wall for the coving to get the wall really even or moisture runs down the coving and lifts the floor eventually. No thanks! I also need to fit a different drain into the floor so the the floor material can sit between a flange to seal it all properly. That wont take long to do, so I'm on to it. They can come back next week to finish that off for me. I've pulled the old sink out and cracked the old tiles off for now, we'll replace all that with new after the floor has been done.

I was watching Tim, our restorative and Heritage plasterer from Stone Ideas (shameless plug) repair some of the existing quoins that surround the doorways on the entrance to the building yesterday. What an art that is. He's done a great job, and it was really interesting watching him work and what he does to achieve the result he gets. Nice work! Good weather for the next few days so they can crack on with it.

Our two entrance doors are in from overseas so I will collect them on Monday, along with a fair but of donated office furniture from a friend of the family, (and a brilliant counsellor)  Melanie Parry-Jones. Melanie has given me some beautiful leather chairs, bookshelves and filing cabinet, and a laptop projector. Awesome! That projector will be really handy for presentations in potential referrers offices when I eventually clamber out of my old paint splattered jeans and don a suit and tie to sell the business. Massive thanks go to her for such kindness.
