The End...or the Beginning?

I have known for a while that my love languages is 'acts of service' but never have I had it confirmed to such an extent as I did on Friday when Joseph (out of the blue) suggested I write a list of every thing I wanted done around the house so that on the weekend he could work through the list (ok, so it ended up being a bit of a trade, he got to stay out till 2.30am playing Xbox..but I think I got the better deal)!!! I sat there with a look of glee on my face as I wrote down one thing after another that I have been desperate for him to do for ages.
This weekend of wrap up jobs meant that we have almost completely finished the house!! we live in an also finished house (this is a big deal)...ok, so a house that's 100 years old is never gonna be completely finished but it's fully decorated and the inside jobs to do are minimal. That wasn't so painful after all...just 1.5 years of chaos!
Anyway, here are some before and after shots of the final room to be completed.
