The drive
The next step, even though the inside I not complete. Mr T decided to sort out our drive. The house will have frontage appeal after we replace the tarmac with cobblestones.
Let's hope the pesky weeds don't destroy it in the future.
Day 1everything has been dug up, no more tarmac. Reminds me of our extension. At least this one won't take so long.

Day 73 - the end?
We have come so far from our start, the baton now gets handed to us to finish.
At the last minute we decided to get the builds to install a loft ladder for us so we can access the loft easier. The light had to be moved and the opening made bigger.
I'm sure over the next few months there will be some snags but I can't wait to make this our family home.

Day 71 - boxing in and plastering the kitchen
Today seems calmer and this is now when they finish the outstanding jobs. Then it will be down to us..I can put ahem my painting skills to use! 
Day 72 - working overtime
The plumber was back again today, that's a first...Sunday working times, that's dedication.
We finally have all the radiators in each room upstairs so that is finished off.
He did the gas run, pipes had to be replaced.
Connected the thermostats to boiler.
Connected the underfloor heating though we still can't switch that on.
Finished the ensuite bar the shower walls until we tile it.
We are getting there!

Day 70 - light gate
It's nice to see that the guys are working on the weekends to get the job done and today felt even busier than yesterday. Both plumber and electrician were back on site today to do more work.
We finally have a safe upstairs and downstairs with an earth wire in the light switches. There was what I called 'light gate' incident that we spent over an hour discussing the removal of one switch to turn off downstairs light from upstairs. Silly bit important to me! Apparently this is no longer done now but I'm a creature of habit..in the end while the builder offered to do it if I wanted it (a mammoth task of chasing a lot of wall out) I sensibly decided to leave it.
We do have a new fuse box which is nice but its going to be more sensitive than the old one.
We also have downstairs wc working which was duly christened by little one.
