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!
