Outside the builders make the most of a fine day and build up the back of the house to 8 courses high.

Tuesday 20th January
More blocks and more strapping, but also the scaffolding contractor returns to re-set the scaffold for the builders (i.e drop the boards, add 'hop-ups', etc.).

Wednesday 21st January
The strapping is finished and we have started on the last of the wiring circuits. Outside the blocks are up to 9 courses at the front.

Wednesday 21st January
We took delivery of the stoves yesterday so Brian makes a start on the fireplace in No.6.

Thursday 22nd January
No builders today, but Gus & Jerry complete the first fix electrics & plumbing in No.5 and make a start on the final stages of No.6.

Friday 23rd January
First fix electrics and plumbing completed in both houses!

After a tidy up on Saturday we will be ready to start fitting the plasterboard on Monday morning.

Friday 23rd January
We have created a void behind the downstairs shower for the plumbing pipes, and the electricity cables run into the consumer unit in the partition wall between the shower and understairs cupboard.

It should be quite tidy when it is all finished!!
