Neph’s new house…
-
Thanks gents! It has been a struggle. Lots still to come too, but it will all be easier when we are moved in. Late summer/early autumn will see new windows and external doors put in and the entire house will get new weatherboards. All of that has to be done so that it meets the standards for historic authenticity [emoji1]

sorry to hear about that –-- incompetence is a killer

Really dig it man. I am struggling to picture you ranting and raving at contractors (being the consummate gentleman here on the forum) but then again I’ve never gone through renovation Hell. And I hope you and Hot Ingrid let em have it when they screw up.

Thank you sir. I tend not to rant and rave at them, but when I’m livid I will use very stong language in a very calm tone of voice. They get very quiet.
Anyway, things are progressing again which is nice. We are getting stuff moved in and set up.
Temporary TV solution for the entertainment of the kids, while we wait for out new TV to arrive…
Hot Ingrids lamps are installed and out new dining table is in.

Hot Ingrid does love her Danish designed lamp fixtures.

Catching up on this thread — haven’t checked it in a long time and despite all the woes you’ve run into, it looks absolutely fantastic now! Last time I looked, it much more resembled rubble
Btw @neph93 I love the Shazams! What’s that chain? Not a GAH Frisco, is it? Looks heftier (and amazing).

Looks great R!

That is a very old (vintage old, not antique old), silver chain that I inherited from my grandmother on my ma’s side 25 years ago. We’re not sure but we think is about 70 years old. I adore it.

So killer! Love it. Alright pardon the derailing — back to the building

Sorry to continue the derailment but if you want it should be fairly easy to find out more if it’s hallmarked (if British marks, you should be able to get date, assay office and maybe maker). I’m fairly used to looking up silver marks (from another expensive hobby :)) and would be happy to help if you’re willing to share a photo of the marks.
On the official topic, good to hear you’re finally in.

Very kind of you to offer. It is marked with the silver grade (925) on all parts of the clasp, and has a simple makers mark too. When I can get a decent pic I will send them to you. Thanks!

Just getting caught up on this thread but I’m happy to see how things are coming together. Btw, Hot Ingrid has wonderful taste in decor!
