November may be a gloomy month but it's looking better for us!

There is light at the end of the tunnel!

Keith came back and spent a few days helping us with the decorating



Meanwhile Stuart cracked on with the cladding. He has done a really good job! 



Upstairs is pretty much finished now - Sue has been re-oiling the oak floors - great to see an end to all that cardboard covering them. We have spent a couple of weekends sleeping the night at the house.






Just waiting for the slate worktops either side of the basin for our ensuite above. The stone masons promised them weeks ago!

Today was a momentous day! We carried in the concrete kitchen worktops



It's been a learning curve producing these worktops - I have spent days and days on them and realised that although they were not as shiny as I wanted them to be they were not going to get any better the more I worked on them. I think it must be something to do with the mix, and then what I should have done is put a product called a densifier on at an earlier stage. Never mind - they are looking good and a sealant/polish should bring out the colours. They were very very very heavy!
