The Build - Week 6

Well we have now re-started activity!!

Glass wall is in and looks pretty good - still nervous about scratches splashes and builders boots - so it spends most of its life folded back and covered up.Plaster board now on ceiling and lantern reveal - walls start tomorrow at 07:30

Big mess day on Saturday - cut out the new opening into hallway which now provides access to kitchen (by the way Tony the supports around the opening are not permanent) - despite covering everything with two layers, masking door jams, stuffing loft insulation into every crack and crevice the ground floor turned from cream to an interesting shade of Battleship Grey (that's concrete block dust to you and I)


Ever tried grey salt crystals on grey tomatoes with grey speckled bread, eaten off grey plates???

Red Cedar cladding arrives tomorrow - looking forward to that - if only for the smell of freshly sawn timber.

Somme conditions have returned to the garden following the rain - but hey I`m passed caring now

Windows nearly finished - scheduled for installation on the 19th

So, I hear you say, "has the time frame slipped?" - yes a little -"when do you expect the job to be finished you ask" I reckon end of October I say...... confidently!!!!!!

Oh!.. I forgot to say that during all that cutting business on Saturday Brock got very upset and made an attempt to leave the house for good - I promised him better times ahead - his own space in Brock House for example .......so he came back.....reluctantly!

More in week 7
