I write this on a dark Sunday evening with our log burner keeping us warm and cosy. This week, I started a new job at Triton Showers in Nuneaton, which is further away from my old job, so it's been dark when I come home and I can't see the houses. Although, I haven't actually missed that much on our house as there has been a lot of rain which has frustrated the builders and they have been concentrating on my parent's house.
Their house now has full walls downstairs, the joists have started to go up and on Friday, the scaffolding arrived. It's starting to look really good.

Dave and I have been working on our kitchen and bathroom layouts. We spent Saturday morning at Sherwin Hall in Leicester and Astley Kitchens are also working on a design for us.
This is the design from Sherwin Hall and the Astley Kitchen one is very similar. I have persuaded Dave that he doesn't need a red wine fridge so the fridge on the end is just for white wine.
It also looks like we won't be keeping our American fridge/freezer - and that Mum and Dad will use in it their new kitchen. Instead we are having integral units around the ovens.
Dave's favourite is the James Bond style extractor fan that appears from the breakfast bar when you turn it on. Both designs are work in progress - we do need to have them finalised by mid December though.
We have the first bathroom layouts as well so we need to do more work on these and the styles that we like. When we get these, I'll post them on the blog. That's it for this week - hopefully there will be some more building work on our house next week to show you.
