We had a meeting on site on Saturday where we talked a bit about landscaping for the garden. The builders have spoken with a landscaper that they work with and the suggestion is pretty simple as it stands. Low maintenance grass/moss with a few strategically positioned stones for the slope and some nice flowers to run alongside the steps up to the front door. They also suggested a tree for the corner of the garden at the top of the slope on the west side. The rest they will leave to us. We have another meeting in 2 weeks to go over the initial ideas in more detail so stay tuned for that.
At the meeting, we also finalized the furniture and got to see the handles that we had picked out (the suppliers had sent samples). We absolutely love the iron handles for the kitchen cabinets (although perhaps not as much as our architect does!) and the brass items for the bar look really good too. It certainly feels like we are in the fine-detail stage now.
We did head up to site to see what's new. Outside, the roof is on everywhere now but there's still no sign of the mortaring or the 'orange' cladding downstairs. Inside, it seems as if not much has happened until you look up and see the ever growing mass of electrical cables. It seems the electrician has been very busy!
So, all in all, things are soldiering on despite the lack of any "wow" changes this week. We'll head over again on Sunday to see what's new. Speak soon!
