Clunges 
As per usual, love what you've done and more inspiration. Hadn't thought of lights in the stairs like that, great idea.
Hah, that took me longer than it should. Was wondering where in my post I called someone a clunge!RichTT said:
Appreciate the feedback. Still so much to do. But so close as well to finishing the main house.
This is the LED string that Neville Johnson have installed. There's no driver to wire up as it's all internal to the running board and light system. Just a couple of wires to tie into the light switches. I'm sure you could also install a remote or wifi enabled switching system to it. We've managed to get the electricians to wire them up to both lightswitches at top and bottom of the stairs.
Wowee, what a house!!
I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind. What are the measurements of your hallway? Ours will be increasing quite a bit when we extend and would love to know if it’ll be similar in size to yours.
Also what colour have you used in your living room? I can’t quite work out if it’s plain old white.
Congratulations on a fantastic renovation!

Thanks mate, very happy with how it's turned out. Luckily both of us seemed to have a vision in our heads and we agreed on almost everything. I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind.

According to the schedule dimensions the hallway is 8.28m long and 1.7m wide. I'm guess that the width is taken at the narrowest part. So I guess 3.2m wide at the widest from wall to wall at around the bathroom door.
We chose Dulux Timeless as the colour for all the walls in the house. Its just slightly warmer than white. Roof and skirtings are all just plain ol' white.
But take my advice. Find a colour you like, then get a trade paint company to mix to match it. Trade paint more expensive, but will cover in less coats (2 vs 3) and seems to cover better as well. More economic sense if you are paying someone for their time.

I love it when I come back to a thread and there are hefty updates! Good work all round. Really like the staircase. Hue lights arent my flavour but the rest of it is superb.
Those cows as neighbours are wonderful!
Yes, staircase has come out great. Really looking forward to getting the last little bits done and get the carpet down. Those cows as neighbours are wonderful!

What an amazing job.... Fantastic to see transformation.
A question please. U mentioned use of some. Sensor to control Outdoor light from night to day time.. Any chance you have any details or a link? I have tried a few Dawn to dusk sensors but most have failed within few months..
I'm afraid I don't know the make or model as I left that up to the electrical contractor. But it will be an outdoor PIR timer with at IP66 waterproof rating. This is it on the underhang of the porch. It's the small grey box on the left. A question please. U mentioned use of some. Sensor to control Outdoor light from night to day time.. Any chance you have any details or a link?

There are so many elements of your house that I love. The radiators, tiles in the hallway and the fireplace are absolutely brilliant. One day! 
Thanks 
Just had word the staircase chaps are coming back on the 7th of June to finish off the wall string cap. Will need to get on to the carpeting company to book a date for the staircase and upper hallway. Then it's just little odds and sods here and there.
Ok chaps and chappettes, thread is long overdue for an update.
I got home from my last work trip and decided the garage was overdue for an organisation and de-cluttering to make my life easier. That being said, the weather was nice so first step was tidying up the garden, attempting to get rid of some of the moss and saying hello to some new neighbors. Rob still cutting the grass well without any issues whilst I was away for a month. Just a quick tidy up of the edges with the strimmer. My 'nature grass' coming along well.
Also threw together a quick herb garden until we get organised for the garden proper.
