M's dad came by earlier this week to help us put up the new greenhouse (more of that later), so have some up to date pictures from his digital camera. In the picture you can see the roof going on the utility room and tool room, the walls are up to window level on the 1st floor and on Friday they put up scaffolding on next doors drive to enable them to start on the roof. Our neighbours have been brilliant and put up with a lot, at little notice and requests to the builders to give us notice of events that will impact on our neighbours (such as knocking down walls, creating large holes or putting up scaffolding that prevents them getting into their garage and covering their car in cement splashes) have fallen on deaf (and cauliflower) ears. Insurance covers some things, but common courtesy makes the best start.

Looking forward to when we can invite them back for a slap up thank you meal.
