I say progress, but I mean to say, if anything has happened at all since the last time we were there.
West of Ireland time is a lot slower than anywhere in the world I have been so although the surveyor said we would be in by Christmas he failed to say which Christmas. We are hoping he meant Christmas 2015.
We speak quite regularly to our lovely neighbours over in Ireland who update us as to the recent activity (or lack of) at the house. Our house is situated at very end of a lane, you can go no further except up a great mountain so everything has to go past our neighbours house to reach ours, nothing is missed it would seem!
We heard from our electrician that he had been working here and he had a few questions needed answering too about certain positioning of lights, he has now finished the first fix of electrics. So I am excited now because I've sent hubby off with strict instructions to get as many photos as possible to update the blog and we can add it to our timeline of our house,from start to eventual finish.
Hubby has also got to count all the light switches and sockets so I now how many to order. Last year we visited a large home show event and I spied some gorgeous light switches and sockets. Quite unlike anything I have seen before and I fell in love with them. Initially we felt we couldn't justify buying something that was double the price of a normal white light switch but finally we decided we would go for them. We are only going to do this type of project once and so we are going to fit what we like (within reason and financial constraints of course.) I have taken second job and now every time I do a shift I can boast that I just bought X number of light switches.
In other news, the staircase people have been out to measure up and we've totalled up how many led light fittings we need?
Looking forward to showing the progress with some photos soon.
