Merry Xmas

There has been a flourish of work in the last 10 days so one final report for 2011.

The larch work is now fully completed on both the hosue and garage so there is lots more varishing to be done when the weather co operates with us again

The ground works guys have also been back installing the rain water harvesting tank, filter and getting on with installing the remaining drainage.

Work has now stopped for the year and will commence again on January 9th (weather permitting). There are 2 to 3 weeks ground works remaining so the focus for 2012 will be getting on with the internal works.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone

Garage exterior complete

Another work weekend finished and things continue to progress well. This weekend was cold with a sprinkling of snow on the ground when we arrived on Saturday morning which made things look very atmospheric.

The garage exterior is now all but finished with only the top coat of harling to go onto the gable end closest to the house. The garage doors are in and the colour matches very well with the larch cladding.

The whole work weekend was spent laying DPM and cliptrack on the first floor in preparation of screeding the upper floor. I had a full work crew with me with my parents and Heidi's dad helping out so many thanks to them for all their efforts. It all takes a lot longer than on expects doing all this fiddly work. We managed to break the back of the job and only have a small section of DPM & cliptrack to go on the first floor before we can get the pipe down. Current plan is to get this done in February and screeded then as well.

In the meantime we will be waiting for the last of the ground works to be completed. Don't think this will happen until January and then we have to hope the weather co operates with us. Need to get this done so we can get water onto site for filling the UFH loops.
