All Flooring down now

We started the day by finishing the attic floor...

Then moved into the Barn's 3 bathrooms, well two shower rooms and a bathroom vynal going down...

Wendy went shopping and bought in some wine (Vin Rouge) which we have to sample to ensure we get the right stuff for our guests Hic!

We can hardly contain ourselves as we see things finishing...

We layed the last tile today in the barn today and started to get the flooring down in the Attic today... we started using a special tool for cutting carpets and vynal it even professed to being suitable for edging wall paper 39 euros oh so simple - if you every get the cance to buy or borrow one DON'T they are crap as they leave a 5mm gap... so we binned it and used the tried and tested method

There is definately light at the end of the tunnel

No it isn't some one with a torch bringing more work... We ahve laid the final tile in the Bunk room only the grouting to do and then we are in snag time (doing all the unfinished bits and pieces.


The Bunk Room


Wendy - no sooner had we got the last tile down Wendy was in Cleaning


This is the hallway by the bathroom and shower room.

Flooring to go down in the attic next that will be a relief then we can put up the lights bring in the bed and furniture and start to add character to the room... Wendy wants it to be a Black and White room.

Also we have a confirmed booking for March...

I have been doing a great deal of Networking on forums to get our name out there in cyberspace, trying to get people to realise what agreat deal they will get if they come and stay at Riders Rest but it all take time, a bit like the chicken and the egg we just need guests to come and spread the word, we ar confident that we have the right mix to attract bikers to come and stay but need more photos of Riders Rest with bikes (other than our own) and independant testimonials. We are sure they will come in time.
