So the day Mike leaves the country, the builders break through from the loft to the landing - although with considerably less mess than an average Mikey DIY session. Te bannisters are gone, along with the only indoor clothes drying space. The frame for the firedoor is taking shape, although I'm not sure how long it will stay after we get the building certificate.

In the loft room the bathroom is taking shape, on Friday the towel rail and sink went in. I think that my glittery floor tiles go down next - v.excited about them.
