More carpet onwards

Another day of on and off progress so let's get going.

How the men left the end of the day

First of all I found out this morning that the men had got a bit further yesterday than I realised as they had cut all the lengths for the skirting board around the middle landing. Awesome.

Tidying up after sanding down

Underlay going into the storage

Now the carpet is going down

Now Bekir fits the skirting

The first thing the men did was fitting the skirting board on the middle landing; they were keeping it really tidy by drilling while also running the hoover in next to the drill bit. Clever. Next up Halil got the sander out and cleaned up the beam to remove all the splinters from it. While he was doing that, Bekir was in the second storage area putting underlay and carpet down inside, and then got started on the skirting board however they did run out of some items so they had to head out to get more.

Bekir works out the materials

And now to the bottom

Once I realised they were not working on the edging for the stairs I made sure to go over the fact that I really want the sides of the steps to be held down and prevent from fraying. We went through a few iterations of materials and ended up using the same metal strip as we used for the other side of the stairs. This is what they spent the rest of the day working, though Halil did sand another beam down.

Rosie cooks for me in her cafe

I'll leave you with a picture of Rosie cooking me breakfast lunch and dinner all at the same time in her little cafe. She's a star.

That's it. Thanks for reading. Back tomorrow.
