None of this could have been achieved without our lovely builders:

Woo hoo, the boys are back laden with gifts - timber, timber and more timber! (for the roof).



First job - sort out the shower. Temporary job as we never managed to get the shower area tiled whilst they were away.





Once they'd got their temporary home organised they soon got back to work and have installed the largest and main steel support for the new dormer which spans the complete width of the building. As it's so long it's had to be installed in pieces and bolted together.


The brickwork and mortar they had to take out was very hard (crikey - something the previous owner did properly then???) and it took well over half an hour to drill each hole through the brick with their heavy industrial kango hammer.

The downstairs WC floor tiles were laid last week, were grouted yesterday and are drying out nicely.
