Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House

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.

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

@Graeme I think that's spot on ::)

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….

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….
