All go on site ...

House in the background - my lovely horse - I wish!

Hive of activity this week. Guttering started, plumbers, electricians, site services and plasterers among others all on site.

Plasterers have finished the coat on the dry lining and started the other block walls indoors.

Soffit and fascia now in place - scaffolding will be coming down this week and we will finally have a look at how our "face" will look!

Running the water pipe to the house.

Water mains - have to get a new meter.

Started the hole for the sewerage tank.

Hole under the 12ft high old wall - thankfully nothing happened the wall!!

After the weather ....

We have had some fun with the weather delays - the frost has finally finished ( fingers crossed) and we can get on with the plastering.

Play room - finally dry!!

Ridge tiles finally going on - couldn't put them on during the frost and the last bit of tiling is finished over the play room. Now only the front porch to finish and the whole house will be sealed.
Plumbers have been in digging up loads of holes to find their pipes for the rads.

Our study with its jumble of network cables in the corner - going to be fun to sort out!!!

Kitchen roof is now plastered and the walls have been dry lined. Starting to see the final room!!
