The William Egglestone ceiling

I've had to put my photography on hold for a month or so while we make our new house comfortable. As I write this in the bedroom, the plumber and his mate are above my head in the loft installing a new heating system. Below me are three builders, plasterer, electrician and labourer, they are knocking down walls and putting up ceilings. The current work should be finished on Sunday, then the next phase will start, floors and exterior.

Structurally, the house appears very sound but aesthecially it's a disaster (in my opinion), which made it affordable. It not a big disaster just a product of the previous owners preference for textured ceilings and arches, oh, and a few other little things. There are parts of this house that William Egglestone would pay to photograph, maybe I should call him.

When the builders have gone home we try to prepare for the next days events, which is mostly cleaning and disposing of rubble but also planning the next phase, which I'll call the Cy Twombly bathroom.

Join me in the bathroom very soon.
