Dan1983 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 All scaffolding down now. Still pushing on with plastering now Plans gone in for front and back entrance doors.

Dan1983 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 upload Probably go 600x random on the sizes on the stone, should be fun to lay! Just waiting on a quote for the Karndean as our quote is based on luxury vinyl click Price per m2 is ok on a karndean but I’m not sure how much fitting is for the screed etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andehh Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Great progress, how are you getting on from a £/2sqm investment into the build? Loving it coming together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1983 Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Budget has taken a fair hit lately. struggling to bring anything in at pc sum (apart from kitchen) on the interior. Gone for an oak staircase which won’t help things either! Just keep thinking anything we cannot change easily then no point scrimping. Variations currently at 23k, about 7.5k of that was flush casement windows and extra bifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan1983 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Yes they look so much better. Odd that 150 was used in the first place. Plastering should be finished this week but struggling to get heat in the house to dry everything out. Limestone flooring was delivered yesterday so will go and take a look over the week end.

Dan1983 Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Astragal bars going on, so that’s the windows and bi folds more or less complete less the bars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1983 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Limestone been going down in hall and kitchen/ utility this week. 22mm thick so very heavy, probably going to cost a fortune in grout! First coat of matt sealer prior to grouting which will be light grey. Stone came online from stone superstore, must say they have been excellent, sent loads of free samples, emails answered promptly. Had quite a few broken slabs on the first delivery which they replaced straight away! Still trying to sort entrance door colours, think they will end up RAL 7030 stone grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan1983 Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Stairs going in now, upgraded to oak in the end as thought it was worth spending an extra 1k in this area. Limestone tumbled floor now complete in hall, kitchen and utility. These have really hurt the budget and taken up all of our PC sum for flooring. 22mm thick so lots of extra grout etc. Now it’s down I think it was well worth it, it’s much lighter in person and gone with a matt sealer. Downstairs toilet area now formed, quite small but enough for a toilet and small wall and slim vanity unit Our slush fund is now gone which was 20k so really need to try and stick to PC sum to completion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan1983 Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Afternoon all, Project has been slightly on hold due to entrance door delays. Kitchen/ utility now going in, a few small issues but hopefully will all be resolved next week Went for a gun metal kettle tap from Fohen. Range is in storage so will have to bring it over when gas fitter is next about. Both bathrooms tiled and went for LVT on the floors, really pleased with this, looks like real wood with embossed print/ texture. Would rather have narrower planks with the small rooms but LVT seems limited to this width. Doors now fitted along with skirting and architrave. Pleased with these as help with the cottage theme. Matt black handles with matching hinges etc Lounge wise flooring should be done next week, went engineered oak due to UFH, all the wood and LVT came from Ambience who were great to deal with. Wood burner also going in at end of the month. Interior designer has now finalised all the room/ ceiling woodwork colours and measured up for roman blinds. Really need to sort the mortgage out ASAP as running out of money/ down to 40k remaining Edited April 8, 2022 by Dan1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan1983 Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Engineered oak floor now complete in lounge, also brick slips installed for fireplace. Just awaiting the cream grout turning up for these to complete then wood-burner can be installed. Kitchen more or less complete, oak worktops oiled and fitted just need up stands fitting now. Also need to order up stands for laminate top in utility. Decided to get a custom aged/ blackened copper splash back to try and tie in the unit handles. Holding off fitting the range until this arrives. Edited April 23, 2022 by Dan1983 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
