Hi AllI’m pleased to report that the building work is proceeding at a tremedous pace and they are well ahead of schedule. The weather was our major concern because they would not have worked on the roof in wet weather. We were blessed with several days of sunny dry weather right at the start and they cracked on and completed it on time. They were working so fast that we nearly missed our photo opportunity for the localpress appeal. There was only one day they couldn’t work because the roof was too icy. While they were up there they also lowered and capped the chimney.
Meanwhile the glaziers installed the new double glazed windows so after the first 2 weeks we were fully weather proof and work could start on the internals.
Electricians did the first fix and the joiners fitted the studding for the wall insulation and as we atand at the moment they have relined and plastered the walls , fitted tha dado rail, fitted new cisterns in the loos,replaced the barge boards and installed new guttering. New ceilings have been fitted in the Den kitchen and Loos.
An invoice for £53,000 has been received for the work so far, so you can see how much has been done.
So we are now really into the finishing stages of final fix on the electrics, painting and laying floor coverings.
This all means that they should finish about 4 weeks ahead of schedule.
Below find 2 external shots of the HQ showing the new roof and windows, and some indoor shots.
Best regards
