We're in the bungalow at last.

Finished? Like buggery...

But I have just plumbed in the dishwasher, washing machine and (temporary
old reclaimed) sink. Final plumbing's in copper, temp lash up to feed it is
in plastic.

It's bloody marvellous. Even though everything is running off extention
leads off one ring, stuff's working. Bath works. Sink works. Drains work...

Bed's in the kitchen, kitchen is not fitted but we have set up random tables
and short bookshelves to use as storage and worktops, in the same pattern
the final worktops will be in - so it's a good chance to try the layout
before committing. But we're here

Thanks to everyone here for their kind and generous advice. Couldn;t have
got this far without you lot!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Tim W saying
something like:

Yay, well done.
Makes me want to crack on with mine a bit.

Having built (myself and two carpenters*) and finished while living
inside, our two homes since 1960 have some idea of what you are
achieving. Well done and nice to see 'it can still be done' in this
day and age.
* Well insulated wood frame homes, which operate well in this rather
severe eastern Canada climate right next to the North Atlantic. Our
first house (1960) is now on it's fourth owner who is well pleased
with it. Still living, now alone, in our second (1970) house.
