The boys are back in town

Yesterday we popped up to the land as usual and bumped into the guys working on the house.  It was great to meet them, they explained what was happening and what will be happening over the next couple of weeks.

We left the site knowing we had the finest craftsmen of Kinnegad (Co West Meath, Eire), South Cornelly, Tonypandy and Maesteg working on our house, it was a good feeling.

Pat, it was good to meet you and the guys, hope you like the photos.

Pat getting ready to tidy up after a Saturday shift.  While talking to Pat he estimated we have used 15-16000 concrete blocks so far, most of which you cannot see anymore.  To put that into perspective I think it is about 25 miles worth of block if you laid them end to end, enough to take you to the other side of Cardiff from the site!

Above, more of what was completed on Saturday.  The 2 pillars are either side of the lounge (and the toilet on the right).  The gap between them will be glass, so not much more block work required to complete the front of the house.

The front right pillar also forms the corner of the side of the house, again a lot of glass to go on the side so that pillar only needs to go up.

The guys finishing off what they had started on Saturday.  Wall separating the garage (foreground) from the hallway and kitchen.  You can see to the left of the guys working the doorway from the kitchen to the garage.

Pat - great to meet you and the guys, see you again soon.
