Day 54 - door frames

Day 53 - evicted

The last of the chimney is being removed today so we were evicted from the house as they sealed everything up and it will be pretty dusty.

The hallway floor was taken up so they can match the floor levels up.

Day 52 - one day only

After seeing the new ensuite, I just felt it wasn't right and so in the morning we went over it with our builders again. It took over an hour, we even considered a corner toilet but due to the position of our ensuite we were very limited in our options but we ended up reverting back to the original design almost. We had to move a double socket in the end and come out more. I still would have liked it to be tighter.

It's not so harsh and will catch some of the light from the window. It's not perfect but it was better than the first attempt.

I sorted out the hall way, I didn't understand why we needed 3 switches so we now have 2. There's so many little things you have to consider.

Downstairs is getting insulated and tacked, tomorrow will be the kitchen and a new steel beam...

Day 51 - the ensuite

We can now see the space cleared by yesterday's demolition, today the walls will go up.

Again this is where my vision and what goes up don't relate, we might have to make changes once you see how it works against the rest of the room....better now before its too late.

There were some electrical work done today which I'm not too sure about...

Stay calm......

Day 50 - csi

Today was the day of the ensuite, our bedroom was taped up and sealed ready for demolition work.

Our bedroom Looked like it was out of those crime shows. One of the wardrobe was dismantled and moved into the new rooms. It was going to be dusty and dirty work so we left them to it and went out.

Day 49 - dusty

It was the day after the storm as in only 2 people here and was relatively a quiet day. They insulated and boarded the corridor and room.

It's still very dusty in there so can't spend too long in there.

The plaster is drying nicely and you can see the change of colour.

As it was raining there was no work done outside apart from tiding the edge above the bifold.

Day 48 - busy busy

Today was a busy day, at one point there were 8 people on site!

The glass were fitted to the windows today meaning the top floor could be boarded up and made secured even though the tile creasing and inside cill needed to be added.

You can now access the upstairs via the main house and they have put up stud work on the second bedroom.

The new part was plastered so its nearly complete bar some adjustments such as skirting, electrics etc.

The ouside is being prepped for the pebble dashing.

So it's all getting there!
