week 5

Things are back on track. The weather has improved somewhat this week and the slaters have started on the roof. The chimneys have been rough casted and they have started slating the rear roof. We have had a lot of stone delivered and filled in round the front and the carpenters have been in and put the floor down and the side walls to the garden room.



Phil has continued to be extremely busy and now has the first floor plumbed and the under floor heating complete. He has started putting in the pipe work downstairs and to your right you can see the pipe work in the study. This weekend he hired the little digger again and put the mains water pipe in up the side of the drive. Nearly finished and he has managed to get it stuck in the peat - too tired and hot to struggle with it he is now waiting for when they collect it in the morning! Just a few feet of trench to be filled in but that can be done at a later date.

On Thursday they came from AGA to survey the site and we have been busy chosing sanitaryware, wood burning stoves etc. I had a day in Inverness on Wednesday and ordered the kitchen and got a quote for the study. Have also started looking at bedroom wardrobes etc. It is getting exciting to see it all fit together and I really can't wait to see it finished. Although what shall I do then?
