Day 85 - Alcove Cupboards & Shelving

It's been a week since my last update and it's been a week of preparing and painting woodwork; door frames, windows, skirting etc. This all takes time and the guys have also been waiting for delivery of a new paint sprayer for the walls.

Todays update though is all about the cupboards that Nasco has built to go either side of the fireplace. Before starting this project, I had one cupboard and a set of shelves on the right of the fireplace but the shelves weren't very sturdy and bent under the weight of the books that were on them. Nasco has kept the cupboard on the right hand side but built a new cupboard on the left and shelves on on both sides. They will need around four coats of paint so that will take some time but already they look fantastic.

Most of the glass in place - note new storage box/bench on the left
The glass balustrade round the terrace is mostly in place and was meant to be finished a few days ago but it's another company installing it and I need to chase them again. The kitchen is being delivered on Tuesday and the boiler also should go in this week. I'm aiming to move in at the start of July.
