The kitchen area (with new door)
The hall (with doors to utility and shower rooms) 
The door to the en-suite bathroom
Our new back door (shame about the meter cupboard)
Very little movement on the house this week, although Andy the electrician did put in another half day on Tuesday and we now have lights as well as power to the sockets. The boiler continues to keep the chill off and we seem to have dried everything out pretty well now.

We heard from our Polish stairmaker - the stairs are made; they're just waiting on the glass which is due with them next Monday (26th) so it is planned to fit the stairs sometime around the bank holiday weekend (30th April to 3rd May).

I've been varnishing the new back door and sanding down the new internal wood prior to sealing as well as removing the framework around the opening to the mezzanine in preparation for the stairs to be fitted.

I've also built the disabled access ramp (compulsory requirement now) at the front using riven flagstones - picture next week as we've now finished the area to the left of this where we plan to put lots of pot plants. We've cleared the ground, spread the remains of the ballast, covered it with weed inhibiting membrane and put pea grit on top. Trouble is without mains water, its a bit of a risk putting plants at Wee House as watering is a bit difficult.

The other news is that we are now officially 6 Brookvale, Upper Stondon, Henlow, Bedfordshire, SG16 6LL - I had the letter confirming this from Central Bedfordshire Council on Friday. They have promised to inform Royal mail so I suppose in due course we will receive lots of important stuff - unsolicited mailers, bills (in particular, council tax), and so on. Better get a letter box in the not too far distant future I suppose. This has got to be the worst value for money in the build - £120 to confirm what Land Registry decided 12 months ago!

With our bathroom fitters starting tomorrow we're hoping to report the completion of both bathroom and shower room next week, together with the stairs install. Watch this space!

You must be beside yourselves with excitement now....I know, easy for me to say, I just have to log on every week and look at the photos!!! It's changed such a lot and is really looking like a home rather than a building site now.
If you're going to grow pot, perhaps you should choose a more discreet loaction?
Love you loads and look forward to seeing you soonest XOXOXOXOXOXX
No dear - not pot as in cannabis, but pot as in container!
P.S. We're growing the real pot around the back
