Wooden Floors

And so here we are on the final stretch ... I think!  Wooden floors going down in the bedroom and hallway.
These are oak engineered semi-solid floors which give the flexibility of engineered laminate with the feel of real wood. It is  stained a bluish grey and will need to be sanded and oiled before it is ready.

Laying the floor, Swavek and Kuba need to cut into the skirting boards to slide the floorboards underneath and give space to allow for natural expansion and contraction due to changes in ambient temperature.

Moving Doors



Two down- stairs doors, to the kitchen & cellar have been moved & or replaced. Petro, a part-time consultant anaesthetist (apparently) and kiteboarder did the carpentry, including using an old door that I found in a skip in a nearby road for the new entrance into the cellar.  Great recycling!
