The weekend saw a milestone reached - we have actually assembled the bed in the spare room. After S had laboured throughout the week to get the walls papered and painted, I fitted the carpet and skirting over the weekend. With the exception of curtains, second fix and snags, the room is done! So we moved out of the box room (soon to be office) assembled the bed and went back to joining a large majority of the population by not sleeping on the floor.
I did learn a valuable lesson on sequencing, skirting goes on before carpet, and definitely before gripper-strip. There is nothing more painful than trying to fit skirting-board whilst having your fingers shredded by gripper-strip.
I also took advantage of a break in the rain to fit the external lights down the side of the house - nothing exotic, just a line of cheap bulkhead fittings with a PIR at the end:
