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

Mark, Mike, Sid, Al and Fred

Monday, 16 February 2009

Lots of bits and pieces (Mark's words) carried out today. The last little bit of flashing around the edge of the dormer roof was completed, Al was doing some work on the stack pipes outside, and Sid made us a nice new access door for the loft storage space and fixed the ridge tiles on the ends of the roof.

Mark fitted two doors in the loft [which has now been re-named The Presidential Suite], laid a carpet which he brought from home and appears to have moved in to apparently escape Sid and Mike's snoring! Fred continued with painting the ceiling in the en-suite and sanding in the lounge ready for painting. Mike applied the tanking material to both shower areas.

The saga of the tiles for the en-suite continues with Wickes arranging a delivery for today, which turned up this afternoon only to find that once again they have sent boxes with non-matching codes. They didn't even get unloaded off the van, just rejected and returned to Wickes. They promised to hand pick a new batch to be delivered on Wednesday.

We had better luck with our delivery from Diamond Bathrooms - shower cubicle and tray, basin and WC for the en-suite plus bath and vanity unit and basin for the main bathroom.
