We have windows! And we’re hoping our nearly closed-in house means we’re closing in on that elusive move in date.
We also dropped by this evening and found insulation too! It’s so quiet with the insulation, which hopefully translates to warm.
Once the the cladding was on, we had to finalise the electrics and the plumbing. It’s been a big debate where to put phone/internet points, whether to wire for sky tv (cable tv), and how many power points to put in. Even though we mostly watch shows online we decided to get the wiring put in for sky tv anyway, and we went with two internet points, plus the one in the data box. (Isn’t everything wireless now anyway!?). I’d be interested to know what others are doing in new builds in this fast changing modern world. We also didn’t get any USB plugs put in… It’s all a bit hard to predict! One thing we did do was go over budget on the power points, so hopefully we got that one right!
We’ve also been considering lighting, so we’ve got pendants in mind for the stairwell and over the kitchen bench, and a mirror light to find for the bathroom (so let me know if you know of any good ones).
Finally, the curtains and blinds … We’re considering making the curtains for the bedrooms ourselves… But that’s still for debate- this week’s job maybe!
