Wood Works

Day 3 (of 10) countdown: Wood

Why does the name Edward Wood Wood have so many d's?
Because otherwise he would be called Ewar Woo Woo. 


A colleague told me that particularly hilarious joke yesterday to stop me from talking about wood. I've got house hysteria. It's all I can think and talk about now we've entered the 7 day count down to move date. 
Today I want to show you the stair progress from start to finish. They're finally installed with the cupboard below completed. Yet to be painted and yet to have the newels put on to the banisters but in! This is what they looked like from start to finish. Oh and as always if anyone needs the deets of a great chippie, just shout. His name is Peter and he is a gentle giant :-)

So when we bought the house, the previous owners had at some point installed these spiral stairs which we sadly had to part with because you couldn't get anything other than flatpack up the stairs - not cool and they were insufficiently supporting the second floor - even less cool. They were beauties but nothing on my brand new ones, especially as it meant opening up a larger hole in the landing which lets in so much more lovely light into the living room as you can see from the pictures. 
The main body of the stairs when they arrived. The rest were built on site... 

Aren't they going to be lovely!
