Charting progress

Yesterday ended on a high--we went to the house, and Sean-the-plasterer had finally done something besides loose our keys. In fact, he had plastered the whole of Bedroom 1. This morning, predictably, took a dive. Sean-the-plasterer is our plasterer no more. So, today was spent madly scrambling to find someone who could come in to plaster ASAP. We seem to have found a team for tomorrow, but from then, they're 'booked up 'til Christmas', apparently. Bare bricks are stylish, no?

The gas central heating chap came by to collect money, connect the last radiator and talk us through our amazing boiler and control box. I do like to be warm, and I think I scared both GCH chap and Lukas with my gleeful excitement. ('WOW! It's warm! That's AMAZING! The radiators are beautiful, don't you think?')

Also, we set up Bedroom 1 so we could move into it on Sunday according to plan. Of course, we were planning on having it painted before we moved in, but at least the bare plaster is about the same colour that Lukas is pushing for on the walls.
