Bits and pieces

As previously posted it's dark in the  evenings by the time we get home, so it would be dangerous and in contravention of many healthy and safety guidelines to enter the house in the dark armed with the torchlight generated from our mobile phones.  Which makes it even more satisfying to do, although the photos aren't as good.

Anyway, there are many different activities/trades currently underway or scheduled:

• Plastering started
• Underfloor heating being fitted
• Windows being fitted
• Telegraph pole for BT line scheduled
• Electric meter fitted
• Gas meter scheduled
• Water supply about to go live
• Concrete floors about to start being laid
• Kitchen ordered
• Sanitary ware ordered

And probably a couple of other things.

Until we get up there in the daylight and are able to take some better photos, here are some glimpses as to what is going on.

Above, windows in the front facing aspect of the cantilever room  This has changed how the room feels completely.

This is what underfloor heating looks like before the concrete screed is laid, the whole of the downstairs looks like this.

Possibly the coolest thing so far, the manifold that connect the downstiars underfloor heating to the supplies that it needs.  Shiny!

A window viewed from the outside.  Here we have a meeting of finishes and materials, looks great.  This is Caitlins room downstairs.

Finally, a completely plastered room to wonder at.  This is the utility room.  The straight lines, the smooth plaster......bliss.
