Wednesday week 5!

Its been a busy day again. I had a chat with the builder this morning. Over all we've had two good pieces of news today. The first is that they will not be knocking the corner out of the house until the walls are up and the roof is on!! That's much later than I was expecting and will mean that the house remains secure for much longer It also means that the extension stays "out there" rather than coming inside with all its dust and mess. The second piece of news is that the scaffolder has worked out how to get the scaffolding up whilst still allowing Eddie next door access to his garage which is brilliant. Otherwise I think his car would have had to stay outside for weeks. We now have double skin walls complete with insulation in between up to a fairly decent height.
Chris has also removed some of the plumbing which went up to the bathroom, he has replaced it with the work he was doing yesterday this means that the hot water now theoretically has a shorter run to get upstairs. There aren't photos of the pipes Chris removed!!

Sounds a bit complicated to me but so pleased that things are progressing well. Grandma is having 40 fits as she looks at the photos. I don't think she has ever seen an extension from the inside.

Much love to you all
