Hey everyone, let\u2019s dive into week 3-5 (-ish) of our home renovations at no 57. I\u2019ve not posted for a while as life has been crazy busy with work full on, managing builders and keeping homelife smooth. To top it all off I\u2019ve had my youngest one at home as his class bubble had to shut down due to a positive Covid test. So back to homeschooling it was for 2 weeks\u2026 argh!<\/p>\n

\n

In the meantime I\u2019ve loved watching the renovations take shape and the amazing craftsmanship of our builders. My favourite parts so far were the plastering and seeing the construction of a pergola that I\u2019d designed. A few weeks ago I wrote this blog post<\/a> about pergolas and how much I\u2019d want to incorporate one in our ground floor renovations and just like that the guys got on with it. I got the feeling that they hadn\u2019t seen or constructed one before. There were a few raised eyebrows and lightbulbs when they realised that it wasn\u2019t to hold off the rain but rather to let ambient light through whilst blocking out direct sunlight. Let\u2019s hope it functions as I hope in the summer when this back wall gets a lot of sunlight and heat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Once they\u2019d done the plastering and first coat of paint all of our holes, ie door openings, had to be blocked up with OBS board to keep the rain and the weather out and prepare for the underfloor heating and engineered wooden flooring to go in. This also meant it was quite dark and gloomy downstairs, a bit depressing even, until the fabulous skylight arrived which \u2013 incredibly \u2013 got installed in a matter of hours by 6 strong men. I absolutely love it but have realised I can now see the awful pebbledash on the first floor\u2026 grrr!<\/p>\n

More updates on the build soon. In the meantime follow my stories on Insta<\/a> or type in the hashtag #homerenovationsatno57<\/p>\n
