Day 71 - Tiling, Flooring, Decking

The sitting room with the new cornicing and ceiling rose as well as the ply-boarded floor

A longer post than normal today as there's a lot to report on since the last update. I went up to London today. Being a Bank Holiday, the guys were taking a well deserved day off but it meant I could spend a few hours checking on progress.

Cornice

I couldn't wait to see the new cornicing which was put in on Wednesday last week. I wasn't disappointed, it looked fantastic and really finishes off the room. It will look even better once it's painted.

Underlay and engineered flooring in the kitchen/sitting room

In the same room they have covered the floor in ply boards and started on the engineered wood flooring which is laid on top of a rather expensive underlay which has good soundproofing qualities.

Bathroom tiles

Shower tiles

They have made a start on the tiling. It's strange how the tiles look different on the wall to how they do in the shop. I almost prefer the tiles in the spare room shower to my bathroom!  The tiles still need to be laid on the floor and the grouting needs to be done on the walls but they will both look great when done. They've ply-boarded the floor and fitted the bath so it looks more like a bathroom than it used to!

The terrace partly covered in decking

The decking on the terrace is partly completed. Once it's completed I'll clean and oil it and it should stay a lovely dark golden colour. The lights are installed on the wall and other than the exterior power point, I just need to chase the glass balustrade and the terrace will be finished (other than painting the rendered wall). It was a lovely sunny day and I sat down and soaked it up for a while before driving back to London.
