The guys have now built the new lounge wall so it’s not one huge open space downstairs any more (well, unless you count the lack of door). The steels have gone into the ceiling cavity and are being bricked in tomorrow, then welded together before the inspector comes to check them. There’s one more to get into the lounge, at the back for the French Windows, which is causing some pain as the outside has been rendered over the old pebble dash, which is proving difficult to remove.

I was chatting to the lads trying to figure out where the water main ran under the house, so we can figure out where to put the water softener. We went outside to find the stop cock. Quick prod around revealed it’s probably full of cement from when the steps were build beside it, but it also had a frog down there. They weren’t happy about leaving it there (big softies) so then spent 20 mins in the rain trying to get it out.

Quote from two of them during the escapade:
“It’s stuck to the floor.”
“Course it is, gravity will do that”.
Finally they got it out with a couple of bits of wood, and it’s now lurking at the bottom of the rosemary bush.
