18th december Update- the development Continues



Well I have just realised that I have not put an update on the web for a little while so here goes.
The Dormer Flat roofs have been completed and the proper tiles roof is being laid now and should be ready by hopefully the end of this week.
They have started working on the partitions for the bedroom and bathroom etc and again this will be completed soon. The Electrician is also here starting to wire up the new 'Wing' and so we have about 8 people on site working today, one being away with the flu.

The 'Orangerie' finally turned up on Monday the 17th, many weeks late. It was also delayed for a further 10 days due to some bad painting I understand. Anyway they have the intention of trying to complete this and make it watertight by Christmas. Lets hope they can do it. There is a chance that the guys may work between Christmas and New Year, lets see what they finally decide. We were planning a Scotland trip over Christmas but what with the workers perhaps being here we may have to cancel. This is really not so bad as we are off to Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia for almost 3 months on the 15 th January on out Virgin Tickets which were a retirement present from the company.
The planning of the house and new garden layout's together with ordering showers etc whilst planning our far East trip was quite tiring but we have managed it. WE had planned to have the development finished by Christmas but this is out of the window and likely to be end of February when perhaps we can start laying carpets and floors etc. The next four weeks will be very busy then.
