At the moment, there is a lot of building work going on in my new flat. These pictures show what the current state of it (as of 8th August). For a more detailed look at the history and changes, go here. N.B. In some cases the most recent photo of a particular area may not quite match changes to an adjoining area, so you need to use a bit of imagination. (Sorry for the poor quality of the east wall pictures in lounge/bedroom.)
Layout:
In this map, north is on the right hand side. (You may want to open it in a separate window, so that you can use it to work out where the photos fit in.)
Toilet and shower, as seen from front door:
Toilet - floor tiled, ceiling has a boxed-in fan leading to shower:
Shower room has fan coming through wall from toilet (currently hidden), tray on floor (slightly raised to give future access to waste pipe), mermaid panels on walls, and water pipe/data cable sticking through back wall for shower to be attached to:
Walls plastered, skirting boards removed, floorboards sanded and varnished, alarm sensors on windows, power socket on north wall:
(Pictures go north/east/south/west in turn.)
New fireplace installed (hidden behind cardboard for protection at present), north/south/west walls plastered (east wall pending), skirting boards removed, face plates fitted to power sockets on finished walls, alarm sensors on windows, floorboards sanded and varnished:
(Pictures go north/east/south/west in turn.)
All walls except west plastered, floor tiles grouted and sealed, ceiling light installed, face plates put on some wall sockets, room full of items from rest of flat:
First picture is north/west view of kitchen, second picture is close-up of boiler cupboard in far corner, third picture is south-east corner (the opposite side of the wall sticking out on the left of the first picture) which has processor for shower in adjacent room, fourth picture is floor near west wall (under sink, with Sky cables running through external wall).
Looking west from bedroom (area between entrance door and bathroom) - light switch next to entry door, MCB circuit board and Cat6 cables on far wall (the only one not plastered yet), light switch/entryphone/shower switch outside shower room, floorboards sanded and varnished:
Looking north/south along the strip between kitchen and lounge - burglar alarm control panel on east wall (and also box in kitchen), some sockets with wall plates on west wall, both walls plastered, floorboards sanded and varnished:
Moving from the top of the stairs (standing in the toilet), round the corner and downwards towards the front door:
