Finishing rooms

Well, over the last couple of weeks I have been busy with the DIY. As a result 2 rooms are now pretty much finished and ready to use.

First up is the front room,that after many many months is now ready to use and indeed has been used most nights. I say nights as during the day its kept closed and a kid free zone! New carpets and all, not that it hasn't already suffered a spillage! The wife was on duty then, so I'm home free on That one! The room isn't quite finished as we still need. To get the liner put in the chimney, so we can finish off the wood burner. 

Its not quite finished in teams of furniture either, as the TV stand is missing. Its on order but its not arrived yet, a typical issue up here! Hopefully when it arrives, we'll get the TV set up and have a look at the stereo, this is the bit I'm looking forward too! It will be good to get my stereo back again and get the tunes blasting again!

The next roomto be completed will be the young ladies room.

As you can see there is a window in the roof. This was quite an undertaking, simple in many respects, the Velux instructions are actually very simple and easy to follow, but chopping through the roof was not a pleasant experience and getting the tiles off cause a few moments of stress! But its in and while I am not convinced the thing is 100% waterpreoof, in pretty pleased with it. Hopefully when I get the different and correct flashing kit (ordered the one I though I needed, but it was the wrong one). Hopefully by the time this goes up, ill have all of the bracing properly inplace and be starting on the plasterboard. With luck we'll be able to move the young lady in to her room in a couple of weeks. Going on past experience though, its likely to be the otherside of Christmas!
