Delete existing partition? Y/N

Since last May, the hall leading to the bedrooms has looked like this

and that's been a source of much annoyance during the tourist season since we have to keep apologising for the temporary boarding and explaining that it all should have been taken away ages ago.

Well, now it has been.


and things are starting to look a bit more normal. The work to finish the two rooms can now continue without causing any disruption - at the end of the day we can just close the doors to the rooms.

Using the carpet as a template you can see where the doors (and walls) originally were before the wall was replaced.


The function room door - to the right of the picture - is a bit further left, but since the position was no more than a guess it's fairly close.
The new residents' lounge (left door) has shifted a lot from its original position. Again, the positioning was a guess and doesn't cause any problems.

New cornicing was fitted in the hall yesterday

and looks pretty good. The new cornicing has been attached in the function room and the new residents' lounge will be done later in the week. In the new dining room there were a couple of bits of cornice removed when the bar was fitted and they'll need replaced. The cornicing folk (do you call them cornicers? Is that a word?) didn't know about that though, so it'll take a couple of weeks to make the new bits.

D**** is here tomorrow to see what's happening and discuss future plans.
