Quick Update

Building work continues and good progress is being made. There will be 7 people working on the house tomorrow including plumbers and electricians. The damp proof render has started to be applied and things are good.

The picture shows the steel straps that we have used in the problem corner to hold the wall together. The gap has been fixed with sand and cement as a "glue" and this wall is all ready to have it's thermaboard attached. As usual you can click on any of the pictures to get a higher quality image.

Here is a close up.

The stud work that forms the new landing has been finished although it is difficult to see it from this picture here are the two doors frames. One leading to the bathroom and the other to the bedroom.

The windows are going in on Monday so all the lintels have been installed in readiness and tomorrow a suitable hole will be cut out the side wall for the new bathroom window.

Decisions need to be made on showers and sinks and I'll post something about that over the weekend when I have more time to research and plan.

Oh yes - and while I think of it. This is my 50th post. I wondered whether I would stick at it.
