Well here I am doing a blog, it seems there are people in this world that have a lot of time of their hands and think we all do, but for them ill make time and do a blog update.
So the footings are all there and done, Andy then boarded the footings as that way the concrete section of them is exactly the correct size and we don’t spent money that we don’t need to on concrete.
Inside the house, we have some more internal walls upstairs now, we have decided the location of toilets and sinks in bathrooms and copper pipe and waste is now in place ready for installation when the walls have been skimmed. Slight changes have been don’t to the electrical installation as the houses 1st fix is nearly finished.
On Monday I had at very short notice a site meeting with the connections organiser from Scottish Power and he will let us put the new meter exactly where we want to put it and we can also run the cables along the edge of the footings back to the pole which will save us a hole load of digging trenches.
Concrete now poured and Andy should be laying some blocks to get us to damp course hopefully by the end of the week as this is his last week with us then he’s on another contracted job for 2 weeks.
Today we have bought towel radiators, light fittings and an electric shower along with measuring the field and putting in pegs to plan routing of heating pipes as we have a site meeting tomorrow night with heating man. We have also spent ages measuring for location of Sues riding Menage and drawing pictures of stable block lay outs as we are hoping to get a planning application in the post in the not too distant future.
