Day 12 – Blockwork appears finished

Finished blockwork

Finished Blockwork

Friday morning the scaffolder arrived and put in the ’second lift’ which allows the builders to finish off the block work on the bedroom. They arrived in the afternoon and got on with that, meaning they don’t have to turn up on Saturday now.

The snow has now cleared in the back yard so you can see all the tiles lined up ready for putting on the front of the house when the new roof is complete. The water butt is now upright, thanks to the builders, and will drain out once all the water inside defrosts.

Also had a look at how we would lay out the bedrooms once it’s all complete and have come to the conclusion that we may need to move an internal wall in order to get the en-suite into the main bedroom without that bedroom becoming too small.

    Are the tiles stacked up by the water the ones that are not suitable for re-use? Check their value at a reclaim yard before you let the builder offer to get rid of them for free!!! You bet he will take them to a reclaim dealer.

    The old tiles have ended up on the back of the house, not quite sure why but the new ones on the front look fine anyway.
