How to put this.

Wood has memory.  This can be a good thing, with oak barrels of port wine for example, which can then give distinctive colour, flavour and aroma to whisky.

Not so good around a leaky loo though.  Hence, new floor.

So the old floorboards were cut at the last joist inside the room, lifted (lump hammer, pry bars and force) and removed.  Smelly & broken boards thrown out to wood recycling.  Good boards kept to replace damaged floorboards elsewhere upstairs, prior to sanding, to be used as the finished floor surface.

Meanwhile…

In the kitchen the custom made fronts have been delayed again, but will arrive soon.

Worktop cut to size.  “Measure twice, cut once.”  Or in this case check & recheck a few times before plunging the blade.

Looks good.  Almost seems a shame to cut holes in it for the sink & hob.
