The Start Of Week Seven

[poliphilo]

The original projection- not that I ever really believed it- was for the work to be finished in six weeks. At the start of week seven we have two joiners on site- one laying laminate flooring in the bedrooms, the other assembling units in the kitchen. A third guy is gofering between them. 

Week seven is the week our tenure on the storage unit runs out, which is why we're bringing stuff back into the house. The problem is finding anywhere to stash it. 



I don't think we'll be bothering with a Christmas tree this year.

That's a smashing fireplace!

We bought it to replace a horrible ranch-style fireplace that was totally out of keeping with the house.

Sounds like a good decision..

"Ranch-style fireplace"? But, from the front at least, the building seemed vaguely Tudorish, based upon what little I know of residential architecture.

Yes. The ranch-style fireplace had been put in during the post-war period (not by us!) The house itself dates from 1909-10.

There is no accounting for taste or lack thereof. Ranch-style architecture is generally an abomination and, over here, ubiquitous. It is hard to believe that the genre derives from Frank Lloyd Wright.
