Great big beams of steel have been delivered. In what I expect was a lot of pushing and shoving on rollers the steel has been dragged around the back to the extension. And more walls.
We got to experience the underfloor heating today. The weather has turned a bit ick as usually happens in autumn. There has been blowy rain, and a bit more rain and the temperature is now in the low teens. With all the garden work that is happening with fences, there is a lot of mud. This mud got tracked through the house, making the slab quite muddy. But a few days ago it all got cleaned up, and I think the garden and fence workman have been locked out of the house because of the muddy feet. Anyway, because the slab was too cold, it was not setting fast enough, and is now being gently warmed by the underfloor heating. So when we went through the house today ( taking off our shoes because.. mud) I got to feel the warm concrete under my toes. The painting in the grand room looks mostly done and it is looking a lot brighter. There is some blue-green sealing goo in study and laundry. Most of the action this week has been with the ...
The plastering is complete in the upstairs and it looks fine. The last of the "orange" is gone and they are now working on door frames and skirting boards. Also more of the roof for the grand room. The undertile paper is up and the edging around the top of the walls. The tiles have arrived, both roof and bathroom. They removed the last line of bricks from the doors. The Door company has been around and told the builders the necessary size of the opening. This is where they have boxed and poured some concrete so it comes to halfway up the brick.
The weather has been frightful, which allows us to notice that the house does not leak.... Actually, its quite comfortable, though you can hear the rain on the roof in the loft, but it is isn't that loud. Also I managed to do my Christmas shopping before lockdown was called. And we got the tree in too. And the link to the cute cat video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ 5FPm2a7VLZR6edUj9
