Posting this update a bit late - the lads never worked over the weekend, but we had the joiners and the painter here on Friday.
Joinery has mainly concentrated on sorting out the doors and putting up the facings & skirting boards. The oak flooring is pretty thick, so the doors have had to be shaved a fair bit. Still more to do, but we can start to see the end in sight.
The painter progressed with the softwood staining - just the entrance halls, study and the main wet room to do from what I can see. He's also varnished some of the window frames and sills - eggshell (satin) finish. Takes a couple of days to settle out, but looks fine after that. The poorly stained windows have yet to be sorted out, but I think they're being kept till later (!).
Other work that we've got after over the weekend included clearing the attic again (needed to make more space for further work up there), sorting out the media trunking in the new attic, and installation of the last two media points in the guest bedroom and study.
This coming week should bring the final windows for the front entrance vestibule, the laundry tiles (replacements for the wrong ones that were delivered), and also the outside quartzite tiles for both the new entrances. That coupled with the painting work should mean a real busy week !
