Hallelujah

There in, there fixed, there usable! The stairs are fixed and we have at last used them. They are definitely not straight but as the walls run out by at least 4cm that's not surprising though is it? They are beautiful and hand made as well, we also have the beechwood flooring down in two of the bathrooms and they are just halfway through doing the third one. The old chestnut flooring has been relaid in one of the bedrooms and now they are doing the area around the top of the stairs (landing in English). Only one problem, there isn't enough old flooring to do the other two bedrooms but as I suspected this would be the case then its no great surprise. We now have to decide whether to buy new oak flooring or chestnut flooring. Suppose it depends on the price, I know oak is about 40 euros a square metre and we need about 40 sq. metres!!! Not sure about chestnut. I would prefer chestnut but hey, we will have to see as we don't have a bottomless pit of money, unfortunately.

Well, once again the sun is shining it's 30°c in the direct sun on the "terrace" but 18° in the shade so I am taking my baby for a ride in the sun to celebrate the new stairs and floor. ( baby = Harley)

Enjoy....... Its a lovely day tra lah
