My how time flies when you're having fun. It has been a while since my last post, but once again I have been a busy little bee. We have the second bathroom 99.9% complete. I have 2 small holes to drill and we need to get a replacement basin (I broke one trying to fix a leak). Other than that it is done and ready to use. This includes a posh new waterproof shower system, lots of tiling, underfloor heating, heated towel rail and sliding door. Quite a bit of new stuff compared to the last bathroom. While that has been going on, we have successfully removed all the wallpaper from the entrance hall and repainted it all. We have stripped the banister of its hideous beigeness and it is ready for painting. We have hung the study doors and bought Tanya a desk to match my own. Now that her new job means she can work from home, she was invading my space. We also had a few ridiculous quotes for flooring and replacing our fireplace. And we finally got the radon gas situation in the basement fixed. And the biggest news of all was the purchase of a new car. While not exactly new it is very nice. A 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe. All 289 cubic inches of V8 goodness. 289ci is 4.7 litres to you non-US folk. She has a few issues, but nothing major and we have been driving it around for a month now. That has been us in a nutshell. Till next time.
