Painting started.

I don't know if you can see the difference, but the soffits and fascias (the exposed wooden parts of the roof) have now been painted the same colour as the windows and doors-which really sets it off.
The red car is my mum and dads and mum is just visible!

Things are moving on

Blockwork is creeping up and up, this is the gable end by the utility room. The painter is hopefully going to do the fascias and soffits next week. Meanwhile the joiner, electrician and plumber are all starting next week too!

Cute kittens

Nothing much happening at the plot, so here is a picture of two most important additions to the build.
These two have my name on them and are living at the local cat rescue place and will be ready in 3 weeks, but will we be ready for them?

Wind and water tight

So here we are, 2 weeks after the picture of me sat on the concrete in the front room. We now have both front and back doors on and a set of keys to keep the window lickers away!!
Plumber, electrician and more block work to come.

Toilets R Us

I had to put this on.
I hope that every builder, rambler, dosser and nosey parker is using this toilet as it is costing £38 per week.

We have water again.

Thank goodness they can get on with the blockwork again. We also have all the velux windows in at the back of the house too. Cills and mullions are here and ready to be fitted. For those of you who don't know what they are (I didn't a year ago) you will have to wait and see.....

Dry as a bone

Velux windows are now in at the back of the house and one dormer window is in at the front.
The builders have used all the water in our 2500 ltr storage tank and it can't be filled easily without electricity and we are still waiting for SSEB to get a grip on that....I have already done one run with 50 ltrs in jerry cans but that doesn't last them long.

Blockwork starts

How do you like our gorgeous windows and doors? Note the cat flap, all we need now is some kittens.

Another action packed week ahead.

The carpenter reckons it will be wind and water tight by Friday and by the way they are cracking on I believe them.

Still growing!
