Hallway; DIY milestone

I love the plum color.

I've seen gapped stairs with no hand rail …

Yes, there are regulations on hand rail as well, though the regulations defer from state to state.

My cousin finished the second window (4 coats of zinser paint), we stood back, admiring; he says "Well that's increased the value of your house"

But the third window has its own different challenges. Old cladding removed reveals rotting end of sill, broken drip sill, short roof flashing... for starters.
And the new cladding needs a quarter inch routered off to match the others

Looks like a project!

Looks great!

A stormy day outside meant time to saw & glue an 8'x4' board of 12mm structural ply (into two full pieces and two half pieces) to make a 36mm base for our sofa project.

Cushions all round will take considerably more thought and time

Much improved!

I like it all especially the entry and your choice of tile.

Absolutely gorgeous, all of it. I especially like the interior doors with the glass, and the plum colored siding. Very chic.

A bit envious, too many of my projects have ended before they were finished. Then the dumpster.
Knowing that has saved from clavichord and boat kits.

I love all of this--the bespoke stairs, the tile floors, the curved glass in the doors, the plum woodwork.

Just gorgeous!

Don't be too envious Chas, even helping is tiring. And we're 3 years in.. These people who buy a (DIY) Château or a (Help I bought a )small village, need years of stamina and teamwork.

But thanks for the comments which are encouraging.
Seven days in on the three areas of cladding and we're about to start painting the third window area, which went from install new cladding to window restoration
