All our doors, skirting boards and architraves have arrived and have been dumped inside wherever a space could be found!
I have been absolutely fascinated by the way Darren has built the stairs to the upper storey. It truly is an art form I think! He started out making the side bits (called stringers I now know!). He carves out shapes in them using some kind of power tool. See below. He then makes a mirror image one for the other side.
The treads and the risers (that is the horizontal and vertical stair bits) then slot into the stringer in the spots carved out. He then makes wedges that he hammers into the gaps. See below. This makes the whole structure tight and prevents creaking etc.
Below is the almost finished product! Very clever in my book!
