Lots has been happening here, we have had Nick and Jackson the carpenters round to put in window boards, door frames and stud walls in preparation for the plasterers.

They were both nice chaps - recomendations from a work colleague, infact, before building the stud wall you see here ( this wall will separate the kitchen and dining room, you'll be able to see over it, but the hob and such will be behind on the kitchen side) . Jackson even leveled up all the floor joists in the kitchen and put in additional insulation, where the builders had done their usual half arsed job.

And then the plasterers arrived and have been cracking on with the master bedroom, en-suite and nursery.

If only we were rid of the builders from our lives we could really feel like we were on the home straight, but no, still the same old jobs not finished and no indication of how we will solve the rendering impasse...
