Board Lines

After over two years on this build we've had lots of experience of jobs over-running; things go wrong, seem slower to do than we could possibly have imagined, nothing lines up straight (it's an old building ....) and we just do things wrong and have to repeat things. Of course, craftsmanship and experience are just the result of making (usually) controlled mistakes and learning from them. As I've written before, lots of things on this build we are doing for the first (and quite possibly the last) time so often our process is missing a whole feedback loop.

Sometimes, just sometimes, jobs go better or faster than we expected. We had allowed a week to get down the rest of the upstairs wooden flooring - we finished at 3pm on Thursday afternoon, fully 20% ahead of plan. The upstairs now has about 50 square metres of wooden flooring running seamlessly from mezzanine to corridor to bedrooms and even into the built-in cupboards. Are we pleased with it - you bet :o)
