The Christmas period has meant a quite time for the builders, no they are still not finished, but at least they haven't been here over the festive season!! On the last Friday before Christmas they turned up, dismantled the porch roof and rebuilt it at a different pitch - they didn't quite finish so we are hoping to see them early in the new year. And of course there was no sign of the renderers.

However, we have continued to make progress, mainly on the plumbing and central heating. Most of the pipes are now laid out, v. exciting picture....

Today we managed to get the pipework in for the radiators for the front room and dining room which did necessitate M heading under the floorboards - urgh... filthy and a bit scary really, but he seemed to be having fun....
