Simply amazing, it just gets better and better.

I've only skimmed over the recent updates and was wandering what your plans are for lighting? I love the colours and finishes that you've chosen but can't help but notice a lot of them are on the dark side! It looks like it laps up daylight but how does it feel on a dull overcast day or at night?

Thanks very much, it’s feeling more like a home inside with the floor coming together. Here’s a sketch we’d done years ago which kind of shows it. We’re going to have a few spotlights above the worktops on the wall side of the kitchen and a wall mounted light the other side of the door into the porch, a bit of driftwood with 3 or 4 bulbs on cables wrapped around it hanging above the lid of islandy worktop, two big lights up in the vaulted space and some up and down lighters on the walls in the middle of each gable so hoping we should have enough different lighting ambiences for the different weathers. We’re just going with recessed spotlights in the bedroom and bathroom and just a standard pendant light in the utility, office and porch. The big lights we’re making from whisky barrel staves which I think will project a really nice shadow

Actually got callouses on my knees from all the kneeling over the past few weeks but almost there..
