7th – 11th May – Internal Walls

The Gyproc has gone up – yippee!! Wandering around with proper walls was pretty exciting – feels even more real. 

However, somehow the designers forgot to mention that they designed a ‘feature opening’ in the playroom (which wasn't in the display home).  Given that we asked for this room to be closed off with sliding doors, we’re perplexed at this little 'design feature'. Poor Trevour – not his responsibility because it was, apparently, on the plans (listed as “sill and bulkhead” – eh?? Wouldn’t it have been clearer listed as “whacking great opening in the side of your wall!”??) Anyway, I’ve come up with a solution but I’m hoping that Metricon will sort it out.

Still, my joy at wandering around the rooms with the walls up cannot be spoiled. Great fun.  We even had the neighbours round. Alas they caught us unprepared - we simply had nothing in!!!

Look, real walls inside!!! 

Had some minor hiccups this week - the bathroom floor tile was discontinued and I had selected a finish for the kitchen cupboards that apparently doesn't exist so have been reselecting.  Glad about the bathroom tiles actually - I suspected I had made a mistake but I have made a better selection now.

Len has got keys to his place now (show off) and will shortly be moving in which was also pretty exciting.  Congrats to Len and Mrs Len and the little Lens.
