Extractor fan surrounds

Extractor fan surrounds are built now and just need the finishing touches; top part to be painted and skirtings to go around the top and bottom of the overhang. Also the splashback is tiled now.

Update

So here an update again from the build. Apologies to any followers, Mrs B has been very lazy and very busy with other things as well and been neglecting the blog... maybe a little tired at this stage as well... we won't be in for Christmas after all but the end is near so slowly getting there! Painters have been in the last few days and the first coat of paint is on upstairs and part of downstairs. Ukki the builder has been working on the extractor fan surrounds based on Mrs B's not so clear drawings of 
how it should look, and he's come up with pretty good interpretation of it :-) The underfloor heating is on everywhere downstairs and working well, also water (hot and cold) coming in. More paint to go on the walls in the next few days and then hopefully upstairs will be ready for flooring and skirtings. And we just have to decide now what colour the fire place should be painted, or leave it white???

The kitchen brick wall is finally finished, lot of work in grouting it, Mr B did a fantastic job! Painters have been back in finally and we have primer on several walls downstairs. All tiling (apart from kitchen splash back) is done. Next to do is cladding the sauna and then ceilings.

Tiles, tiles, tiles














Lot of tiling happening this week. Cooking area floor in kitchen is done, so is the porch. Downstairs WC wall tiles and floor done and shower room done. Also sauna floor done. Utility room floor done and only the little "mud corner" is still under work. Tomorrow going to buy timber for the sauna and also order all the skirting boards. Also have already bought some curtain poles and black out blinds for the boys bedrooms (very important because of the bright summer nights here). Ceiling material has arrived for us to collect and the plan is to start on that after tiling is done. Kitchen units should be ready next week...
