Neph’s new house…

Really dig it man. I am struggling to picture you ranting and raving at contractors (being the consummate gentleman here on the forum) but then again I’ve never gone through renovation Hell. And I hope you and Hot Ingrid let em have it when they screw up.

Thank you sir. I tend not to rant and rave at them, but when I’m livid I will use very stong language in a very calm tone of voice. They get very quiet.
Anyway, things are progressing again which is nice. We are getting stuff moved in and set up.
Temporary TV solution for the entertainment of the kids, while we wait for out new TV to arrive…
Hot Ingrids lamps are installed and out new dining table is in.

damn. those dining table lamps are a thing of beauty!!

Hot Ingrid does love her Danish designed lamp fixtures.

Catching up on this thread — haven’t checked it in a long time and despite all the woes you’ve run into, it looks absolutely fantastic now! Last time I looked, it much more resembled rubble
Btw @neph93 I love the Shazams! What’s that chain? Not a GAH Frisco, is it? Looks heftier (and amazing).

Looks great R!

That is a very old (vintage old, not antique old), silver chain that I inherited from my grandmother on my ma’s side 25 years ago. We’re not sure but we think is about 70 years old. I adore it.

So killer! Love it. Alright pardon the derailing — back to the building

Sorry to continue the derailment but if you want it should be fairly easy to find out more if it’s hallmarked (if British marks, you should be able to get date, assay office and maybe maker). I’m fairly used to looking up silver marks (from another expensive hobby :)) and would be happy to help if you’re willing to share a photo of the marks.
On the official topic, good to hear you’re finally in.

Very kind of you to offer. It is marked with the silver grade (925) on all parts of the clasp, and has a simple makers mark too. When I can get a decent pic I will send them to you. Thanks!

Just getting caught up on this thread but I’m happy to see how things are coming together. Btw, Hot Ingrid has wonderful taste in decor!

Looking good @neph93 !

What kind of TV did you get?

Looking at “The Frame” by Samsung at 65” but not decided yet.
@neph93 I do have the 32" Frame, its a cracking TV, but one thing to be aware of is that it isnt VESA standard - so if you want to do anything other than put it up flat on the wall using Samsungs fixing, you need to get a convertor.
We wanted to have the Frame vertical on the wall, with art showing, and when we want to watch tv, be able to rotate it to landscape and pull it away from the wall for best viewing (its hard to find one fixed position that everyone can view easily). To do this, I've had to find a specific wall mount that rotates, and an adapter for the back of the TV, both from different places, both from Germany, which has taken me months to get hold of due to Brexit, although you wont have that issue!!

I’d give a strong look at LG gallery TVs if you want a flush mounted TV. Amazing OLED picture and decent smart TV OS. The GX series we got includes eARC HDMI out so pairing it with something like a Sonos Arc is really a great combo.
We have a 55” that will be replaced by a 65” and relocated downstairs to the bonus room. We still don’t have all our furniture so excuse the mess but this is what they look like mounted:
