Yeah it’s feeling pretty special, still lots to do but definitely lifted our spirits a little and helped me regain a little energy for the next few weeks of attacking the to do list
@BrickMan good eyes, yeah a little island off Orkney, got a current projects thread going for it too. I know exactly what you mean and really want to avoid getting into the “that’ll do for now” mindset. My partner had had a really rough week so the aim was just to give her a bit of a lift showing what we had to look forward to. Got three weeks to get all the finishings dealt with, a bit more tiling and probably another wee touch up coat of paint on each wall once sockets are all fixed, although I might try and do some painting this weekend before the rest of the sockets go on now the messy bit of cutting the holes is over.
@jambon I put a couple mist coats on our fresh plaster, and although it was a little patchy by the time the second coat of colour is on you don’t notice at all. A brush would be an arduous task, just cover as much as you can and go for it with a roller.

Thanks very much for the info, noted. Will just crack on as it's just one room so nothing to complain about.
Probably like a few people, I've been quietly following your thread. Some really inspirational stuff. We went to Orkney on a walking holiday a few years back and your images instantly take me right there as it looks similar. Can't imagine how satisfying it was spending your first night there.

This is awesome, must be a great feeling to do something as simple as watch the laptop with the fire on
