I'm happy to report that I'm no longer afraid of falling off the catwalk when I need to pee in the middle of the night (or on those rare occasions I get a bit drunk nowadays...)

Also, I am now cooking with FIRE! (speaking of safety, I had the propane stove hooked up by a gas fitter rather than trying to DIY it.)

Bathroom post #1. The big part of this job is finally done. It came with a pretty big price tag, but I think it's going to be worth it. I got a flooring crew in (husband and wife, they were pretty cute) to do a wetroom floor Before they could do the spackle and mats I had to put drywall up on the walls and t&g particle board down on the floor, because the osb boards were flexing a bit after the plumber cut the drain hole. So that was an interesting experience, as the floor is a pretty odd shape. The drywall was quite easy, especially since I used really thin boards (6mm). It's nice that it was only for a small space, then I got to try it out but didn't get bored with it.

One of my favourite parts of the house so far is my little office space. It was fun to build and turned out exactly as I'd envisioned it. Including the fact that it's a super functional and cozy space. Here are some photos documenting the building process and outcome. Notice the drop-down space visible in the first photos - that's where my feet go! I love it. I also love the desk itself, which is a piece (I think of oak) I cut out of an old tabletop which had seen better days. This bit was in pretty good shape, and is lovely after a bit of sanding. The computer doubles as a screen for watching movies and series, and with the bed in sofa mode (futon rolled up) the bedroom becomes a really comfy tv room.
