I am breaking my silence! It wasn't an intentional silence, just had a lot of things taking precedence over blog-writing.
Since last writing I've done a lot! It feels like things are happening slowly, and I think that they kind of are, but happening they are still.
Last I wrote I had just built a staircase. Since then I have:
- finished the upstairs birch ply floors with hard wax oil
- painted the exterior panels with järnvitriol (makes the wood look aged)
- had a plumber in to put in a couple of drains through the floors (bathroom and kitchen)
- brought in a bunch of kitchen stuff, gotten a fridge
- hooked up to electricity (light! heat!)
- built my clothes storage space and office space up in the loft
- gotten my bathroom area ready for the flooring guys to put in the wetroom floor and walls
- gotten wetroom floor and walls
- upgraded the sofa space significantly
I'm what I would call about 60% moved in. I still have a bunch of stuff in the big house, and still need to use the shower, toilet, laundry and dishwashing facilities. Current projects and stuff to do coming up soon include:
- building the entryway step/woodstove platform, and installing the woodstove
- build my toilet (so far I have a seat)
- hooking up my propane range
- running pipes and connecting to water (oh glorious indoor running water)
- build entryway shoe storage
- modify the bathroom cabinet and make the sink
- build storage shelves in kitchen corners
- build/modify and install kitchen counters
- make and put up shelving all over
- other stuff that's not as high priority...
