Well, December is here and we have Carre Heritage working for us to finish off this (what now seems) interminable project!! There is pointing to do on the south facing wall, garage doors and welly washing door to fit, landscaping to the north which will probably have to wait until March or April. Security system is three quarters done now but no one seems to have any idea on garden lighting......all the electric cables are there but no one has come up with any idea as to how to control the eventual fittings from the house!!
Jobs to be done inside include internal doors, skirting boards, moving a lot of the electric plugs to sensible, workable positions, plumbing in of washing machine and tumble dryer which have been here for over a month now! Then there is storage to think about - nowhere to put anything at the moment!
The heating system is working now - after the purchase of a brand new heat pump. No radiators working upstairs yet but the heat from downstairs is rising to make it comfortable.
The stairs are partly in!! Sort of there but not usable....so we are still using the builders staircase that we bought at the beginning of the project... Two woodburners are in and functioning which is lovely.
I would love to be at the "let's pick curtains and carpets" stage but we are months off this I fear.
Although there seemed little to do it all seems to be taking an awful lot of co-ordinating and an awfully long time to complete.
Hey Ho. 2015 approaches and I can only think we will be builder-free at some stage this year!!!!
