It has been a long drawn out process deciding on the colour of the window timbers. Why has it taken so long? Well, I think the fact that the windows are such a huge investment you want to get it right, you also don't want to be repainting the windows in a few years. My lovely friend Bec helped me with this. It feels like the right balance of earthy, modern, clean and just a little bit daggy.
To be honest I thought I had already posted this one as the colours have been decided for a while. The kitchen has arrived and we are now hoping to get a plasterer in to do our ceilings.
We have had to look at a different door style where we were planning to have a bifold door. Apparently it is impossible to get a completely sealed bifold door in this country, go figure. We are hopeful that we can get a triple slider which unfortunately reduces the opening to our garden and outdoor eating area, a compromise we have to take because we want to complete the renovation this century!
I was hoping that by now I would be writing of the joys of living in our environmental home.
OK, OK I am peeved and starting to lose faith. It has been a long, hard slog with the 'I told you so....Kevin McLeod window scenario'. Didn't think it could happen to us, not when we were armed with the knowledge that windows are always the problem, always the delay ...blah blah blah.
The end of the windows saga may turn around soon....it's only been 6 months late after all.
