The brickwork arch above the front door has been taken down and replaced which has effectively repaired all of the bricks that could have fallen down. It turned out to be quite a tricky job and you can see the template the builder has used to get the curve right. Obviously the mortar will be weathered and everything painted when it has dried.
I think you know you are reaching the end of a project when small detail like door furniture starts being added. This picture is taken upstairs where the only thing outstanding now is to fit the bathroom. That work started today and I hope may be done by the end of the week.
The builders worked hard to finish of the under stairs cupboard so the boiler could be installed today but unfortunately the Corgi plumber didn't turn up. This is the only "old school" builder we have had on this project. No show, no apology, no explanation, no idea when he will turn up. It was bound to happen sooner or later!
I don't know why I felt the need to publish a picture of a plastered under stair cupboard. The advantage of having your own blog - you can do what you want.

So are all your loyal readers and commentators going to be invited to a house warming party?
Not without a boiler installed..........
I would be delighted if you wanted to come and have look. Not sure about the party though - I don't want you wrecking the carpets.
Great idea! I think that this project deserves a good party: and we should all be invited. Sure APD feels that he could not have done this without our fequent visits to his blog. Suppose should invite all those who actually did some work on the house as well. Just post the date and we (and anybody else who uses the internet) will be there to ensure that the house is 'returned to use' in style! What's that you are shouting? NO? NO? NO? And I thought all property developers were mad ..................
The people who have become property developers in the last few months are especially mad! (in a nice way)
