Update..

Still here! Over the weekend we managed to finish the Kitchen completely (all those fiddly bits like glossing the windows etc...) and lay the flooring upstairs as well as prep for the hallway flooring to be done this week.

The trim needs to go onto the flooring upstairs as well as dust busting. Will post some images when the trim is on and the furniture is in place :)

Roughly 2 weeks left ;)

Kitchen Flooring & Living Area

Kitchen flooring was my weekend challenge. First I had to cut and lay some 6mm concrete backer boards, prime with the (green) latex paint in preparation for laying the wire for the underfloor heating... Toasty!

The boards are fixed with adhesive and galvanised nails, it took longer to fit them than it actually did to tile the floor!!

The tiles are now in place and I will be tackling the grouting on Monday, giving the adhesive time to go off.

In the mean time we have also been painting the main living area which will be complete Sunday along with the hall way. This just leave the flooring to lay and the TV to mount.

Once that is done we can tackle the spare room.

Were still looking good for the end of November, possibly even the 3rd Weekend!!

Backer Boards down with Latex Primer:

Underfloor cable in place (Yes I tested it first!):
And a Blurry image of the tiles.... Grouting tonight so will post a better one then:

Weekly Update

OK, this weekend we got the kitchen functional and floored / moved into our bedroom.
Lot's of images to give those who know what it looks like an idea of the work done.
Also are images of what is left to do!
I will be tiling the kitchen floor / laying underfloor heating this weekend as well as blitzing the painting in the soon to be new living area. The following week should see all of the flooring laid and then the 2nd bedroom decorated/floored.
