Floor varnished. Clear varnish but its come out really dark. Wood did have a slight red tint to it so will be interesting to see if it goes lighter when it dries.

Dismantling the kitchen at the weekend and next week.
Thinking of having the following -
20 x 20 black floor tiles
20 x 10 Metro white wall tiles
White kitchen units with black or wood worktop
400mm round stainless sink with drainer
Stainless oven and hob

Kitchen stripped. That took all of 5 minutes as it was a makeshift job with hardly anything holding it together. Tiled the lower half and all units made up. Done some plumbing, mainly tidying up and getting it re routed for new sink. This afternoon picked up the worktops and tomorrows job is to cut to size.

Base units made and fitted. Worktops cut to size and fitted. Sink ordered. Next job is to cut out the hole for the sink when it arrives. Coming from Germany so won't be here for a couple of weeks.
Looking at ovens, hobs and hoods. Got a short list but nothing definate.
Bedroom doors have been cut to size and existing door frames have been sanded. Bought some Paris brass door handles last night. Doors will be getting trial hung tonight.

Are you allowed to have doors opening directly onto stairs? I thought building regs meant that there had to be 1m iirc between a door and stairwell - not necessarily an issue for you unless you look at renting in the future.

Oh, I'm massively jealous anyway as I'm still in a building site six years on and yours is moving much faster!!

1900 house. Building regs don't really apply, otherwise that staircase would have been replaced years ago. Steep is an understatement!
There is actually a corner step at the top of the stairs that you can not see.

Nice.
Building Regulationsbe cannot be retrospectively applied iirc, so if that is how you inherited and it got Regs at the ti e you should be ok.

Tiles grouted and cleaned up. Windowsill fitted and painted the kitchen walls. Door frames sanded and ready for paint. Black chrome sockets fitted. Wall units built up and ready to fit. Taken a while as there has been loads of fiddly jobs.
Also got the bathroom sink out and managed to get the cast iron bath out in one piece without damaging it. Bought some 200mm x 200mm white tiles for the bathroom walls.

Bit more work.
Kitchen finished apart from fitting an oven and tiling the floor -
Cubby hole at top of stairs in loft boarded out. Originally had a panel over so opened up -
Bottom of loft stairs boarded off and insulated -
Stairs need cleaning and re varnishing.
Started tiling bathroom -
Only a sneak peak of that as only just started and the rest of the bathroom is still orange!
