Looking back at the blog, We are trying to remember whats gone on - we have had to put in new drainage - this has been a problem since we moved into the old Delfryn - badly installed by the council and shared with the neighbour. We now have a properly installed drain of our own, but not before breaking the water pipe in the road and cutting the whole street off!!!
The garden has been re-landscaped and all new retaining walls in the front and back garden. We have had a Slab put in for a nice size garage next year in the back garden.
All the plastering has been finished - if ever a trade has given us problems it has been the plastering - badly let down by the first couple then we managed to get a good one who finished the job off for us.
Staircase has been put in and looks great, also most of the second fix joinery has been done, bits to finish off but not much.
LOTS and LOTS of painting and floor tiling - the floor tiling has nearly put me in hospital but i pleased to say that 95% of that is done - we have a bit to do in the bathrooms when the boxing in is done - but apart from that we are tiled and grouted - thank god for that!
The elecricty cable to the post was done as part of the re-landscaping, we now have a electricity feed and everything! First Fix Lekky is done and second fix is underway tuesday. We have 48 downlights to put in and a lot of sockets etc. We are have got economy 7 meter installed as part of the underfloor heating thing.
I also installed a CAT6 high speed computer network and a lot of cabling for an Alarm system.
The Lindab guttering was completed - again another job that seemed to drag on a little....
anyway heres the pics taken today....
relandscaped garden and retaining walls - anyone who has been the house before will know our garden used to slope down from the field behind - you can see from this pic that we have taken a lot of stuff off the top to give ourselves a flat piece of lawn...
The kitchen is finished but we need the electrics finishing off as part of 2nd fix this week... you can see some of the floor tiles here ... about 25 Sq M in Kitchen..
