The rear en-suite looks like the meeting place for every local hose and pipe at the moment. Eventually all these pipes from the underfloor heating will be connected to a central manifold and pump. Until then this room is still being used for access to upstairs rather than the main staircase.
The initial fit of the shower mixer tap, along with the feed for the toilet systems and the towel rail are also in place now.
The brick wall will be battened out with and have plasterboard installed soon. There are very few cabling routes left open and this is one of the last. Hopefully we have identified all the cable runs now so when this gets closed off it won't be needed. Famous last words... We will see.
In the back bedroom, we are planning on having built in wardrobes as in the original house we always struggled for storage. The frame is being installed by the builder to provide a structural point to mount sliding doors on at some point in the future. Behind the frame will be two supports, one across the floor and another across the ceiling. These will be used to install a pole based sectional wardrobe system from a well known Swedish company with large blue buildings. The idea being that we can install it later, and to a design that suites our needs.
The office, and probably the storage cupboards off the hall and the built in wardrobe will have carpet tiles fitted. I purchased these from a reclamation supplier, which I think is a fancy word for 2nd hand. Either way, for the office etc they should be hard wearing and durable. Currently I've just got them stacked up until we get to the point of bring ready to lay them.
With the exception of paint and floor covering, the first room is done. OK, so its the small cupboard on the landing that used to house the hot water tank, before becoming known as the Narnia cupboard. However we refer to it, we are pleased to see it complete as far as building is concerned.
