Finishing touches

Yes folks, we are really really nearly there.
This week we've had the builders finishing the odd bits of flashing on the windows outside and the renderers doing the final coat of render, so that's pretty much it as far as Profast is concerned.
Today Armando sent Giuliano to finish off the painting - all done including the range hood chimney which now matches the ceiling and is even less noticeable than it was.
Took our ottoman to Bluestone yesterday to have it upholstered to match the couch - it and some scatter cushions will be back by Friday.
Next door the builders have finished messing about with the party wall, so as soon as the paint has dried, we will be able to put the furniture back where it belongs and, finally, rehang our art collection.
All we need now is the caulking of the splashbacks, and some more tracklights. Minor hiccup in that area - Peter found some LED tracklights on the web and ordered several. The trouble with buying things on the web is that the size of the object isn't always obvious. When the tracklights arrived today we discovered they were shop fitting size - about four times bigger than we need or want. They might be back on eBay this weekend. Meanwhile we continue spending our evenings in gloom until we find some smaller ones. Can't win 'em all.
