Thank you Giles for mentioning little greene colors, I found a retailer in germany that offers their colors at an ok rate and they do exactly the green i would like to paint in an "historic" room with a wooden floor, the 216 Obsidian Green. I´m looking at a place from 1909 tomorow to move in so we shall see.

[Giles]

Brilliant…..

Island unit undercoated….

Finish line is visible.
Looks, even at this stage, terrific!

Ooooh… I like the tiling. Like it a lot.

[Giles]

Everyone who comes in, comments on the beauty of the tits tiles

[Seul]

Quite frankly I'd be worried if they'd comment of the beauty of the Giles…

[Steffen]

Looks splendid, almost there 

I scored the 1909 flat today, waxed oak floors, 3.5m high ceilings, orginal doors, 15sqm balcony the kitchen i quite small but i think i´ll find a way to fix that

The last 10% of the project always takes 90% of the time! :o

Thanks for the words of encouragement @Graeme     

@neph93 if this darn project isn't finished soon I will be moving into the Premier Inn… for good!

[Graeme]

@Madame Buttonfly I'm pretty sure that @Giles is enjoying the process far too much to rush it!

[Madame Buttonfly]

@Graeme I think that's spot on  ::)

It certainly feels that way…

Got a load of stuff on the list for next week.  One of jobs is to install my ebay fireplace.

Register grate installed, bricked in and painted…

Hole for the hearth, ready and waiting…

The hearth, 80kg of Portland Stone that P and I went down to Portland o Friday to pick up…

The grate surround (it's probably got a real name). I've polished the right-hand side, left-hand side is tomorrow's job…

Carrera marble bits, I think I have them in the right places….

[Giles]

We re-laid the threshold today.  Some arse (me) measured (badly) once and then cut.  I had forgotten about the stooling under the bricks at either end, so the middle section was 440mm too short (what a twat).  I had to get a new centre section made, take all 3 pieces out, shift the outer sections outwards and then drop the new centre section into place, at 200kg, moving the centre section around was not for the faint-hearted.

I'm delighted with the result and will take photos tomorrow, but having finished that, we are now able to start laying the floor.  We placed a few down dry, just to get an idea of what it would look like….

My ebay bargain moves forward….
