Cornices and more deliveries

Well, Wisdom have a lot to get done today in order to lock up the place. The majority of the cornices have been installed, except the ensuite and some bedrooms upstairs are still to be done. The bricks still haven't been cleaned and treated, so that should hopefully be done today.

Friday we had a delivery of the doors and architraves! I wonder if they will install all that in one day?!

The most exciting part of the week would definitely be our new staircase! Yay no more climbing up that ladder (not that we ever did that...ahem)

Let's see if they make lockup today - it's Mr Milburn's birthday, so that would be a great gift!

Someone has done a little brick inspection, but I tell you there are a lot more bricks I will be marking that have chips on it when I get the opportunity!!!!

Cornices in the office

Above the cloak (L) and laundry (R)

Above the fireplace



Nib wall between kitchen/lounge doesn't quite meet the roof..

The gap between powder room and the electricals of the theatre room! This has since, as the spray paint suggests, been blocked up - phew

Different rounded cornice for garage (also in storage/wardrobe spaces)

Our staircase! Will be painted crisp white (gloss)

Internal door delivery

  1. Hi guys

    Your house is coming along really nicely, liking your bricks and kitchen. Just on the balcony, we have a similar issue with the size. Did it cost you much to get it extended.

    1. Hey Mike, thanks I'm really liking them too which is a huge relief. To be honest, I was pretty annoyed we had to pay extra at all because it was a design flaw more than anything. After much arguing we were charged "cost price" and it was less than 2k. Hope this helps, and good luck :)

    2. Thanks for that. I am sorry to read about your niches, i don't know how they expect us to accept their mistakes. I am having doubts about this company now.

    3. Hey Mike, no worries, and don't apologise! It is quite frustrating. My partner called our SS today to ask for a walk through this week and he asked about the wardrobe mirror doors - he snapped at him and told him he's busy with hangovers this week and to call and organise ones next week, and it's people like us who call and ask about these things that take up all his time so much so he can't make his weekly phone call?! Is that serious, we never ask about anything and the one time we do?! I'm really not happy right now. It's ridiculous you get treated like crap and are left hoping for the best - and me today I was looking at new feature tiles to replace my niches with, and why because he's too busy to listen to us so he can fix it earlier rather than later? Argh!

    4. Handovers not hangovers! Although who knows...
