Day 116 - New garage door

The new door was fitted between the garage and the rest of the house today, which marks a moment ! We've used the oak foil door type here again, though a bit denser. Decent mortice lock fitted to this one too. It's got a bit of a gap underneath right now, but that's deliberate as there's a threshold to go in yet (this one will have a draft excluder of sorts on it).
Joiners were also busy today fitting the skirting boards to the work room (Wendy had already pre-stained them the night before), removed the door from the airing cupboard & also made a start to fitting the bannisters to the staircase.
Painter was here today and stained a batch of skirting boards (oak colour). No progress made on rubbing down the incorrect coloured windows though.
Slaters were also here and completed the gutters (except for one branch), and also fitted the finial - however it looks a bit high & squint, so some more work required on that one.
Tomorrow should be more of the same, then by Wednesday we should see the start of the oak flooring being laid (as long as the underlay gets here in time !).
