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

Tuesday/Wednesday, 3/4 February 2009

While Paul had a hospital appointment on Tuesday, the slating continued (between snowstorms/blizzards) on the front of the dormer and around the sides. Fortunately the snow didn't stay around for long. Meanwhile, Mike carried on with the plumbing inside and out and some work was done in preparation for skimming the walls in the loft.

This was what we saw on Wednesday morning showing the slate hung dormer (looks much nicer than the old white UPVC we think):



The boys were back on the roof this morning continuing with the slate work. The lead flashings around the windows have been left on the outside to provide weatherproofing against the strong winds that we experience here coming off the sea:











Mike carried on with some pipework from the boiler and also made a start on fitting the new radiators:











Mike also finished off work on the external stack pipes for the two toilets.

Mark's only working part-time this week and left this afternoon as his wife's celebrating a special birthday tomorrow.

The slate looks fantastic!

Wow, just looked out the window and can see the Clwyds with snow on them - first time for days we've been able to see that far.

I envy you your views, and you are so lucky to be so close to the railway - you will have fine views when steam trains go past!
