Things are moving along nicely with Grace's room. The carpenter is here today to start work on her sloping floor. He has managed to pull up all the old MDF which was laid badly & unevenly on to original beams.
If you look at the spirit level, you can see the angle of the slope in the middle, over the main beam. If you look at the rear wall, where the skirting board has been removed, you can see how the angle gets steeper. There is almost 4 inches difference between the left & right walls. No wonder Hugh could always be found playing with his cars there, watching them roll by themselves down the 'hill'!
We have decided to move the small radiator from under her window, to the opposite side of the room & to double it's size & make it a double, not single as well. So we are waiting for our plumber to come tomorrow!
UPDATE
Clearly I posted that too early! Becuase this is the lounge, directly under Grace's room.
The carpenter slipped off a beam & put his foot through the ceiling of the lounge below. I know it was an accident, but it still happened. That was the first room we did in this house & it has been absolutely plagued with disasters. From wonky ceilings, to plaster cracking within days of being applied. Just a disaster.
Now this. Oh and this;
The woodworm treatment he applied to the beam has leaked through the (badly constructed) ceiling, all down the wall & left a horrendously stained puddle on my very expensive brand new carpet (which we have all gone to enormous lengths & great personal effort not to mark stain or ruin!) it has also ruined my perfect, amazing, beautiful expensive & now discontinued curtains on which the whole room decor was based & which are the same as the ones in the 'mirror' lounge.
Crapitty crap crap crapwits.
Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggh.
