Georgia the Digger Driver

The digger drivers seem to get younger and younger!!

Anyone fancy helping us out with the garden?

Plasterboards and Electricity Connection

Plaster-boarding is underway - Nearly all of downstairs has been boarded up this week so far and we have upstairs to do over the weekend. The first picture shows the first board of around 150 to be put up, second picture shows the same area with boarding finished . 

We have today also started to dig the trench for the electricity cable. Pantymwyn is very rocky ground so this is fun, but we still hope to have the electricity sorted by early next week.

Scaffolding Down At Last!!

Today it feels like we have turned the corner - The scaffolding was taken down! We are very pleased with how the house looks, all the hard work cleaning the bricks from the old house, and the attention to detail we have put in, now seem worth it. Almost all External work on the house has been completed (downpipes for guttering need installing) and we are concentrating fully on the internals. The kitchen people and the staircase are ready - so board up and plaster, and we are looking OK.

Dormer and Door Casings

The Dormer Upvc was put on this weekend - at last! Above pictures are before and after the work. That means the scaffolding can come down this week. All the external painting of fascias/soffits/barge boards has been done. All render has had at least 3 coats of weathershield and all the brickwork has had a waterseal put on it. Will be glad to get the scaffold down.

Door casings and Window Cills have also been fitted this week - and the plasterboard is being put on week commencing 21st june - have had to put it back a little. The plumbing first fix is not finished yet, and i have got to run a bit of cable first as well.
