The builders are back

The builders are back and the brickwork is going up.  The floor has been filled with rubble and sand.  The side extension has the roof beams up. And the pigeon chicks look like pigeons.

Bricks, bricks lots of bricks

The bricks have arrived for the building of the ground floor extension.  The builder wanted to get all the bricks at once, so there wouldn't be any colour variation between batches.  Unfortunately they couldn't be delivered to the back of the house, so builders have had to take the time to move them by wheelbarrow. I have "fond" memories of doing that once with paving stones at my parents house.  Also the loft work has progressed. They have finished the roof, added a gutter and painted and edged the brickwork.  Inside they are still adding plasterboard. This is the eves storage space for keeping spare suitcases.  My daughter thinks it is a secret compartment.

It is open at the back and the window at the front is open too.  But the weather this weekend is supposed to be excellent, so that probably won't matter.

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
