The Build - Week 9

Well, we are very nearly there. Last week saw guttering and down pipes put up and then .......the soak away - a monumental hole in the ground ridiculously wide and deep (7 ft deep and 3 ft square) I know we are a wet country but really!!!! then its filled with rubble and finished off with some of the soil that came out of the hole - where is the rest of it going I hear you say.......good question I respond!!

Kitchen is nearly in - just waiting for a few bits that disappeared in transit between the order being made and the kit leaving the warehouse?????

Electricians arrived yesterday to complete second fix (for my readers in the US - Hello Carol! that means fitting plugs, switches etc)

All went well until time for testing......why is there a break in the ring main asked Gareth - search me said Pete - I’ll have a closer look said Gareth - bu**er he said the kitchen fitter as put a fixing bolt through the ring main!!!

Right said Joe have to take the cupboard down - (you know the rest of the song) - call out to fitters - awaiting reply.........

Second fix plumbing going well - hope I haven’t jinxed that one now!!!

Granite worktop being fitted this morning - what can go wrong with that.........??

All in all it’s not been a bad build with just a few niggles and snags - talking of which - SNAGGING - that’s the next job...

Let you know how that went next week!
