29th April 2018

A couple of weeks have passed since the last update that’s just because I’ve been to work for the past 2 Sunday’s and simply have run out of time.

That’s not to say things haven’t progressed. Most of the plastering has now been completed with just a few more bits to finish off but they are left exposed at the minute to allow access for gas and water pipes. The skirtings are fully fitted in the living room and the hall is fully plastered out. We have a loft access hatch which has now been tidied and the stairs are completed. All the architraves are complete upstairs an once the boiler and bathroom suite are in then upstairs will just about be complete. Outside a start has been made, all of the soil has been pulled back from the drive (Wally’s wife was happy to take delivery of that next door but 2 which has saved it being carted to the tip), the hedge has been pulled back and the wall knocked down far enough to allow for 2 cars to be parked on the drive.

Sharon has moved an awful lot of rubbish out and tidied up quite a lot inside. She has also undercoated all the skirtings in the living room. Her final task this morning was to gather up all the wood from around the back and pile it up at the side of the bonfire ready for burning.

A momentous day for me today, the electrics are now finally in place, new consumer installed and all circuits working correctly including linked smoke alarms and front and back outside lights. It’s really starting to come together now.

And this evening, whilst I was travelling for Work, Spok and Paul have been up and lit the bonfire eradicating the wood from around the back.

We’ve had lots of visitors, Spok and Denise keep coming along to gee us up, Sharon’s Mum and Dad have benn, snd Susan and Uncle Tony have been today. All are chuffed with how we are getting along.

Until next week........Baca selengkapnya
