The house renovation continues at a better pace. I think because there was a school holiday this past week workmen arrived in pairs, rather than on their own, so more projects were achieved.
The upstairs is finished and the downstairs is finished. It is now time to erect the staircase and place it in the opening in the hall ceiling, the space where Iain fell.
We bought the stairs off the internet* . It arrived in 2 crates from Italy 5 months ago. Having opened the crates, the bags of bolts, treads and spindles have been stored under Iain's bed and in the bedroom. The living room has now been turned into an assembly area.
Think of it as Big Boy's' Lego. Or as the young lad helping said "Lego for Smart People". Actually I have to admit the hardest part of all of this is trying to figure out how to work the video which gives the instructions for assembly! It is well done however. No language is used, just demonstration of screws, screwdrivers, drills etc.

Once finished we will be able to unpack our possessions and place them on shelves and in cupboards both upstairs where we have a room set aside for storage and downstairs in the room which Iain will now vacate as he is taking over the upstairs rooms.
