Well, our original target date was that the work would be completed around 4 days from now. We're a bit off from that target date, but not terribly so. The past three weeks we've had some delays due to the great British summer weather, rain, and also because the building inspector wanted some changes to the way our drain pipe had been laid. Things are back on track now though!
This past week, aside from sorting out the drain pipe, our new windows were put in. They look really nice. We got a new window for our current spare room as well because otherwise the window will have been obstructed by the new kitchen roof so it just had to be moved up one brick level. Also this week work continued on the roof and they've started to lay the new roof tiles.
They haven't started laying the roof tiles at the front of the house yet and the new window hasn't gone in yet because of the scaffolding, but here is how the front of the house is looking now.
And here is the back of the house. The windows make it look so much more real to me.
Tomorrow they start taking down the first skin of bricks on what used to be our outer side of the house and then on Tuesday knocking through the wall starts. The rest of the week will be spent installing our new bathroom. Tuesday night we'll move in with Dad for about a week. Unfortunately the new kitchen can't be delivered until 14 September, so we have to wait a bit longer for that to be done.
So, hopefully there will be no issues this week, we really want the bathroom to be ready for Di and Matt's arrival the first week of September! :)
