Progress report week 17

Monday the builders spent the day knocking holes in our house and adding windows at the front and back. They also started on the new living room.
Tuesday they made more holes in the house, taking out the whole of the corner of the house downstairs! (It's a good job they had put lots of steel in here and here beforehand.)
Wednesday the electrician put in lots of wires, Chris did lots of plumbing, more stud walls appeared and generally everything in the living room floor has been made ready for the flooring.
Thursday the first coat of render went on the outside and the walls went up in the loft room.
Friday The builders have insulated under the floor downstairs with chicken wire and fluff so at least we know that the new rooms are chicken proof. The floor has gone down today and the loft has had its ceiling plastered and some of the remaining walls. There is just the wardrobe and the tiny prayer room to plaster. Outside the renderer has done the front and the back upstairs so hopefully the roof at the back will be tiled next week.

There are too many photos to put on this post but for more photos see the hall , the new living room, the loft, the utility room , the new front bedroom , the study, the breakfast room
