Is closure ever going to happen?

It's been suggested I wrap things up here, and no one could be more enthusiastic than I to get that done, but I sit here today with painting still going on around me, with my possessions bundled into cupboards and in boxes and moved from room to room, with tradesman still turning up, and alas my energy is being invested in just maintaining my calm :-o'

It is true that there are lots of cool details that I could show you, and as I clear things away I will add photos. Just to keep things humming along, here's some shots of the exciting outdoor furniture my IT go-to guy and general renaissance man whipped up for the big party, made from the left over blackbutt decking timbers and the frames from our 1999 synthetic wicker outdoor setting.

This is the deck cleaned of all the kebab party fat and covered with the first coat of Intergrain Ultradeck - It'll be nice when we can use it again - sigh!

And for a surprise addition to the rough luxe exchange, here's my entry ceiling:

Beautiful, isn't it?
