Yesterday I showed photos from the outside of the conservatory, showing our posh new roof, today we are inside, and a good job too it's YUK out there.
It's all neatly plastered and almost ready for a couple coats of paint. The decorator should be here later today. Usually we paint everything ourselves but for the minimal extra cost involved this time we have the brother of our builder, who handily is a painter and decorator who will slosh around the white paint and do it for us as part of the renovation package price.
I spent most of yesterday scrubbing off bits of dried on plaster from the window ledges and skirting boards, and sweeping up and then mopping up all the plaster dust that had settled on the floor.
It's nice to see it looking clean at last.
Once everything is painted and I can have a final clear up I will have to start on the kitchen. With the doorway opened up again everything is covered with a fine layer of plaster dust. It will be a good excuse to empty all the shelves and re oil them and the worktops before putting everything back and decorating up a little bit for Christmas.
I'll be glad to see everything back in it's rightful place, as I think will the animals. The dogs and Ginger have coped admirably with all the upheaval. As long as they can find their food dishes, water bowl and a bed for the night it seems they are happy.
Advent Challenge - Day 18
A telephone answering machine, found lurking in the drawer. Better for someone to be able to use it than for it to 'lurk' anymore.
