| The Wood, C's photos |
There were some queries: whether the kitchen unit doors look a little odd; whether I can bear the light switches; whether Roy can bear the bath; why there is a lot of condensation in unexpected places related to the Nibe; whether there has been sufficient thought given to where the wires go from the hifi shelves and from the things plugged in at the left hand end of the kitchen bench against the wall; why there are no shelves under the window at the back of the kitchen and where the bathroom towel rails and mirror lights are going.
But in general it was all looking rather super. The walls are a nice neutral and not brilliant white; the wall tiles in the bathrooms are a lovely pale grey; the oak floors upstairs and the elm worktops downstairs look gorgeous; the built in shelves are excellent and capacious; the shelves in the warm cupboard are spot on, and though there is space for them to be bigger, that space can also be used for other things; the shelves over the hanging spaces are generous.
The projected completion date of the beginning of September looks possible now. How we furnish it then becomes a question.

For example one could one put a clothes horse to dry clothes in the airing cupboard? There's plenty of space. Or does that add too much water vapour to the system?
Open the door and let the Nibe inlet in the loo suck the damp away perhaps?
is it too indelicate to suggest that if Nibe removes moisture you could install a Japanese style loo and eliminate the need to store old copies of the Scotsman, old briefs,exam papers,etc?
now that i can see them, i can't quite see why the fuss about legs? it would be spooky if it didn't have any and i for one would be expecting the sky to fall on my head
you should sell the photo of livi as the cover of the latest Hieland romance - having lost a boot to the drear dreich bog, will handsome kilted Jacobite break cover to rescue our heroine?
It is possible to be too delicate when engaging in circumlocution or the intentional mystification of family members. What is this Japanese loo of which you speak? I thought the Japanese were so refined that they are unable even to mention the word for lavatory; and so the rather (how shall I put it?) - Scandinavian? image you evoke seems unlikely. If what you are suggesting is that we should use old newspapers instead of loo paper, then I and Klarg unite in declaring that this will not do. Klarg's digestion will not take it and another part of me will revolt equally.
Thank you Chicken Little for the input re sky falling.
Heroine seems happy embracing house so the Jacobite's suit is doubly bootless, I fear.
it is alleged that some up to date Japanese loos will blow dry the users, thus eliminating the need for etc.
equally it has been suggested that rather than reprocess paper into loo paper one could shortcircuit the process - however, will bear in mind Klarg's delicate digestion, perhaps he needs some bush tea?
All looks very nice. What are the lumpy bits outside- natural rocks or rubble?
Lumpy bits outside - it all depends which ones you are referring to. The great huge unsightly pile beside the welly barrow is builders' debris . The rocks and so on right beside the house are rocks, some I think brought in to stiffen the porridge when the site was first levelled. These will have to be removed or sorted out somehow. Some of them might be the bits out of the bottom of plaster and cement buckets. There is a lot of granite dust, hardening somewhat, in the Nymphaeum, where it was drilled out when the well was dug. There are just natural rocks all over the place too, though, including a rather nice very white looking one in the middle of the bog which I think was dislodged when the hill was scalped.
We are going there again next week, as we will be having a week at Runival. Diana has suggested I do a video tour of the house, so I will try that. As Livy is in South Africa, though, it may be some time before I manage to load it onto the page.
A whole atricle about Japanese loos in yesterday's Sunday Telegraph.
