Kitting out the kitchen continued

The next step is to get a door in the wall in the office. We've not got one that matches the rest of the house, so for now we're just going to install the door we just took out of the kitchen. To do that we needed to remove the window. We've finished taking the window out, and removed the wall below the window frame - still some work to do but it's nearly there. We're reusing the window sill as the sill to the new doorway. We've cut off one edge to square it up. The floor in the hallway has two layers of floorboards, and the lower layer sticks out by 2 cm. So I'm going to have to route a grove out of the edge of the sill so it will sit flush with the floor. We've started that process, but I spent most of the day trying to level off the area where the sill will end up.



We've been in a building site for a month a half now, surrounded by plaster dust and a mountain of plaster lathe and wood. The electricians began working on rewiring the building a few weeks ago. The electrics are so old they were probably original to the building - so they could be 100 years old. We've been moving forward slowly, but we feel like we've not had a huge amount of success until today. It's amazing how much of a sense of satisfaction you get from just one thing getting installed just right:
