Closer and closer...

The last bits and pieces are coming together at the house. Here are some pics of the latest developments:

The splash-back has been tiled and the rangehood has been fitted.

The tiles continue around the curved bench.

The wood-fired stove is in place and is just waiting for the flue to be plumbed up...

... and the stove again.

Here's a closer look at the tiles.

The kitchen sink is in and so is the tap.

The shelving is nearly finished in the pantry (just the edging needs to be put on)

The laundry sink is now in.

A little tricky to see but the shower screen is in and the slate is on the floor & walls too.

The electrical work is done & is all connected.

The steps from the kitchen/dining down to the bedroom & bathroom are in.

The minirib cladding is on the external laundry wall.

And the colour is on the external strawbale walls...

... things are getting very close now.
