This next stage of the build has been really busy – a total contrast to the relative inactivity we experienced while waiting for the screed to dry.
We’ve had the plumbers, carpenters and electricians in to do their second fixes.The first fix was everything they had to do before the plasterboard went up and the screed went down such as wiring and pipes. This time round the carpenters were fitting the doors, skirting boards and so on, the plumbers were putting in all the sanitary ware and the electrician was working on the sockets and switches and so on.
We also had the painters in, and they’ll be there some time as they’re working round the tradesmen. Some of the floor finishes are down too – the tiler came in and has tiled the bathroom and we’ve got the wooden floor down in the hallway. You can actually see how the rooms are going to be now, which is fantastic.
There’s still a lot more to do though as we push towards the end of the build. But we’re getting there.
