Where are we now?

At times our progress seems infuriatingly slow. A while ago we agreed to only spend one weekend day working on the house. The other day is always going to be a family day as the last think we want is to be worn down by the amount of work that needs doing and more importantly, the kids need us.

David's room

David's room is almost finished. I'm waiting for the curtains to arrive and then he can move to his big boys bed. It needs accessorising but i can worry about that over the next few months.

Chloe's room

A shelf needs putting up, along with Mum's wall hanging. I also need to find a bookcase.

Our room
The mirror has arrived and I'm about to order the main light and the mirror light. We still need curtains, side tables and a chest of drawers. I also need to restore the 1930s wardrobes but that will take quite some time. I'm still not sure whether or not to paint them white or keep them as they are and restore them.

Garden
Half of the allotment has been dug over ready for winter. The tree is coming down and we're going to buy a shed

Halls, stairs and landing
Undercoat is finished. We now need to finish sanding the woodwork so we can start glossing. The major work here revolves around the staircase so I will need to get a few carpenters in to quote for the work. trouble is, I'm not entirely sure what we want them to do so the only thing I can do is get them in and ask their advice.
