Renderers have finished all the new bits, waiting to see how long it is before they get on with the existing parts...

been away in Bulgaria last weekend, but good progress made this weekend with the battoning being finished and knocking out the back fireplace, in preparation for the plasterer.

Despite the dreadful weather...



(image for illustration only...not actual veiw from our front garden...)

the renderers have started already with the final render coat!! This is great news as it means the scaffolding will be coming down from next door's roof very soon and we not have to be worrying so much about what a pain we must be causing them.

Progress from the renderers - the first layer of rendering has gone on the new parts of the building...

And in other news, the snowdrops planted last year are coming up!!

M and I have been chipping away at the work to be done - well mainly M really! But this weekend we had a burst of activity in anticipation of being ready for the plasterer at the start of February. We had Mr TC working on the heating system...

The newport connection arrived also to help with battoning the ceilings... (this is vital preparation for preparing the ceilings for the plasters not that we want to go for the mock tudor look)...
and had a fiddle with our TV arial (we have been in black and white fuzz for a while now)...

So all around progress was made, I even got to do some essential maintenance on the veg bed and garden and planted a lovely jasmine that we were given at Christmas.

Added to all this joy and excitement - the renderers arrived this morning!!!! Joy to the world!
