More "little things"...

...like a new air-to-air heating system!  Yet again, I'm not organised enough to show you how the work has been progressing at St Abbs in the right order 😉  The new heating system went in just before the scaffolding arrived ~ everything seemed to suddenly be happening at once!  A mighty big drill bit was used for making the holes in the wall here ~ I've never seen one so long before!

This is in the sitting room.  The pipework came into the house in our bedroom (in a convenient cupboard!) and was then fed down the wall.

The units looked quite large to start off with but now that they have been up for a while, we don't really notice them now.

Same size unit in the dining room.  It's quite amazing how well the warm air gets around each room.

At the top of the stairs.

In the kitchen.

And this is the unit that does all the hard work.  It's not the most attractive thing but it's at the back of the house so doesn't detract from St Abbs' pretty face 😊

See that piece of plywood on the wall?  Well, it's gone now, along with the wall-lights and the shelf.

We had our sofa in front of the plywood originally, but the sitting room has been somewhat rearranged now.

We wanted a wood-burner to supplement the heat units ~ and there is also something rather lovely about sitting in front of a real fire, don't you think?

Anyhoo, Chris and George opened up the original fireplace and discovered that the stonework was really lovely!  So, we decided to take a chance that the whole wall would be just as nice and the guys took down the lath and plaster to reveal... 

...this gorgeous stone wall!  Just look at that fabulous lintel!  Adrian and I were thrilled that the guys uncovered such a treasure and we now have a beautiful feature wall in our sitting room 😊
