The Foot of our Stairs

On the ground floor of our house, underneath our new office, the new informal dining area is taking shape. This will be next to the kitchen (when that happens), and will take a small extending table and a couple of chairs.

What we got when we bought the house

We framed the wall last week, and since then have progressed slowly but surely.

What I turned it into in 2007

How it was on Tuesday

I am really glad we have done the insulation:
The view out the window yesterday

We now have a ceiling in that area (after the old one fell down in June last year) and a temporary light.

After we finished cladding this area, we started on demolishing the old sink in the kitchen. This revealed a whole host of new problems, including concrete cladding, behind which the wall was wet. We have had lamps and a fan on the wall overnight to start the drying process, which has produced an instant crop of saltpetre.
