Can we go away again please?

We're back from a relaxing week spent doing very little. We stayed in a nice farm cottage with swimming pool and a hot tub lurking at the bottom of the garden.


We returned to this...

There were apparently 15 decorators working here at the start of the week. Layer after layer of paper has been removed from the walls and ceiling. Both staircases however have big scaffolding towers on them. This presents a problem because

our bathroom is at the top of the stair. To get there we have to duck under the scaffolding which you see above and then climb onto the platform at the top.

The back stair leading to the bedrooms also has a tower on it and the wall on the left has been stripped to remove the dry rot.

It all looks a bit scary, but a huge amount has happened in the past week. The painting in the public rooms is finished and the papering in the bedrooms is coming on.

The main job this week was the improvements to the gents' toilet. I've just realised that I didn't take a "before" picture of it, but the new stainless steel bits are fitted and working. There's still more to be done there and as a result we'll be closing the bar again Monday - Thursday this week.
