Stair is installed

Just back just back from another weekend of working on the house following only a couple of weeks behind Heidi who also had a solo trip back.

Things have really been moving on in the last month since we were back as a family at Easter. For Heidi's trip saw her getting on with some more painting getting the kitchen completed and finishing off the master bedroom. Distracting her from her work we had the fire place being installed, tilers in putting in the first floor tiles in the study, the joiner working on loft hatches and access ladder installation, and the data engineer was back starting to fit up outlets and cutting holes for speakers in the ceiling. Outside we had the landscapers finalising the pavers and the driveway installers getting started. No surprise Heidi didn't get quite as much painting done as she had hoped!

 The week after Heidi was there dad was up on site for us as the stairway people finally got to site. The stair installation went pretty smoothly with no major problems and the main flight is no in place. They are back again this week to start installing newel posts and hand rail.

The same week the GSHP service engineer also finally made it out to us and found the problem with the unit. Turned out to be a loose connection within the unit that was causing all the problems.

Hot on the heels of the stairs going in Tor was back fitting shower trays and doing other bits and pieces to get the other rooms ready to tile. On site were also Bill & Evelyn - Bill wiring up UFH thermostats, central vacuum sockets and MVHR booster switches and Evelyn painting in bathrooms. Thanks mum & dad for all your help. A successful weekends work all round and things are starting to look like to are heading towards completion now.

This week the data engineer is back fitting speaker, CCTV cameras, PIRs for the security system and terminating CAT6 HD cables. The tilers are also back working in the kitchen in preparation for the kitchen units being delivered on 10th May. Outside the drive way works are completing....busy times!

We are back in week as a family to take delivery of the kitchen units and to get them installed, plus more painting. The list of things to do is getting shorter......very slowly.

Plan is still to be finished by the end of August so we are in the last few months of frantic activity, then we can worry about other things!
