A slow week

The past week has been the least eventful we have had for a while. The larch boarding has been lying undisturbed on our driveway for more than three weeks now, and we've seen nothing of the builders themselves for a while now. The owner and boss has been in Teneriffe for the last two weeks (which may or may not be relevant!) and there is some kind of high priority work going on on another job at present. Given time, there may be some high priority work going on here as the contract deadlines approach...

Meanwhile the electricians have been finishing off their first fix cabling, including telephones and some nice purple network cable. The plumber has finished the lead work on the roof. I didn't keep count of the number of days it took, but it's much, much more labour intensive than I would ever have guessed. The final section where the lead meets the GRP took days, with lots of shaping, welding and hi-tech epoxy work. The final product looks good to me, with just the rebuilding of the skew to be done.

Having finished the flat roof, Donnie has moved inside and is beginning the first fix of the plumbing. So all is well, but we would like to see some more excitingly visible progress next week!
