The air conditioning was installed today. They were hoping to get it done by lunch time, but the confined space in the upstairs roof made things trickier than Troy expected. The gear is in now, and they just need to put the vents in.

The builders were hoping to get the ceiling finished today, but the delays with the air conditioning held them back. That will be finished tomorrow.

This is the new bedroom, formerly the kitchen.The door overlooks my fish tank, hence the windows. We have a proper sky light which will help to light the place in the day time. This room is about the same size as our existing bedroom, but the built ins will be far more useful than what we have now.

At last, a door in the hole. That should make the house a lot less cold tonight.

Margaret made the mistake of requesting new doors on the hall cupboards to match the other internal doors. Well, you can’t just pull the old doors off and put new doors on. We have to make new inserts to jazz up the inside of the cupboards. We found ourselves hurriedly emptying cupboards that we thought would be left alone.

The old bathroom has a new door, but no latch yet.

Tomorrow the air conditioner goes in and the ceiling goes up.

The builder told Margaret that they should be done by the middle of next week, after which the floor coverings can go down. That was a shock, but we aren’t counting chickens yet. If it happens that way, it will be just 3 weeks from start to finish.

Happy days!
