Day 188 - 2nd Fix has started

Having tasked ourselves with choosing/ordering tiles for all the bathrooms this weekend we popped up to the property to do some measuring.

Paul the leccy has obviously been in some time over Christmas/NY as most of the sockets are fitted upstairs


 
 


And the new fuse box has gone in

 

Day 188 - Snow!

Happy New Year!

What with Christmas, New Year, the Snow and associated transport problems we've haven't been up to the property much and not much has been happening on site

Day 170 - Frank's back

 
And he's made it downstairs - here he is finishing off the stairwell...


 
 
Here's the hall/lounge wall - look how smooth and shiny it is!

Day 170 - Bad Plaster

 
 

We knew we had a lot of dodgy plaster all over the house, so one of the areas we've chosen to spend extra money is replastering all the rooms. This is the state of the existing plaster.

 

Unfortunately the surface is so bad the new plaster isn't taking very well so the guys have had to use a special mesh to hold the new plaster onto the walls

Day 161 - We have roof!

Finally the flat roof outside the Master bedroom french doors (above the lounge) is complete. This means we're water tight, finally.
