Monday 8th December
The consumer units are connected to the meters - we have power! Jerry & John complete the ground floor lighting and thermostat wiring circuits for No 6, then make a start on No. 5. John is off back home tomorrow so progress will be a bit slower from now on.

Tuesday 9th December
More wiring - the lighting circuits are completed and the first ring circuit in No. 5 started.

Wednesday 10th December
A day of deliveries as we receive 10 tons of building sand, the pre-cast corner stones (above) & lintels, 66 sheets of chipboard flooring and half a dozen bags of cement. This will hopefully allow us to screed the upper floors on Friday and fit the floorboards before the screed sets.

Thursday 11th December
More deliveries - this time 924 concrete blocks, enough to make a good start on the outside of the building on Monday (weather permitting). Inside the wiring of the gound floor of No.5 is finished.

Friday 12th December
The roof is finally finished (apart from around the missing chimneys).

Friday 12th December
Jerry continues with the wiring in No.6 and is only halted by the arrival of Scottish & Southern Energy to change the meters to off-peak versions - as ordered!
