Nearly there!

Plastering done.
Painting well on the way.
Skirting boards going on today.
Electrics 2nd fix started.
Still some pluming to do and a bit of floor once that's done.

Kitchen units, work top, floor and wall tiles will have to wait until new year.

Another day then a massive cleanup ready for Christmas! It looking absolutely fantastic. Really happy that nick has done all the bits I asked him. And the final Finnish is really nice.

Knocking through pt2

The one ton concreate lintal came out today, it was a big job.
Fortunately the weather today (it was -5 this morning) meant that it was too cold to lay bricks so Nick could call in some much needed reinforcements!

Praise The Lord we have heating!

At last the boiler is up and running. But the underfloor heating will be done next week once the magnetic gizmo has pulled all the oxide gunk out of the system.

The boiler is a Worcester (bosh) Greenstar 24i. This was recommended by Which and has a top energy rating. In fact it's nearly 30% more efficient than the old boiler which is astonishing, so even with the new extension my heating bill should come down a bit.

Electric first fix is done too the electrician (Rob Blois) has done a cracking job and in double quick time.

Next job is knocking through and putting up the drywall.
