House build

[Colin Grigson]

Just back from a few days away and some more progress to show … we have some floor tiles laid downstairs and a few wall tiles in the downstairs shower room. A few lights are fitted and some sockets - I’m not sure why the electricians approach to this is so haphazard but they seem to pitch up unannounced, do a bit and then disappear for a few days .. we’re most likely one of many such ‘work in progress’ for them. We have two sides of the house exterior walls finished and they’re working on the other two with some gusto !.
We’re already looking at booking final building control inspections at end of September into October so all things being equal we could/should be in for Christmas - fingers crossed

Thank you Jowwy … the pool won’t be usable until next year and it’ll probably lash it down the whole summer

My good friend finished the stonework at the sides and bottom of the fireplace today - he’s not the quickest but the quality of his work is outstanding. There still seems to be an endless list of things to finish … but the target of Christmas dinner in the new house remains attainable so far …

I didn’t realise it’s been so long since I’d updated the thread … but we now have a couple of finished bathrooms and a utility room … we should be moving in the next couple of weeks so mostbig jobs are complete except the handrails for the staircase and landings and balconies… I wanted to be in for Christmas and that’s looking very likely with a couple of weeks to spare
