With the improved weather the builder has made a start on the path around the cottage. The old paths were very tatty and, of course, the new extension had to have its own paths laid, so the only proper answer was to replace the whole lot. I selected a rough terracotta stone, which will offset the white rendering nicely.
The picture from the north east corner of the cottage shows progress to date on the new path. It's a little wider than the old path, which has allowed us to fix a couple of issues with inspection manholes.
Over the next week or two we are hoping that the land will become dry enough to deliver a load of hardcore up the field by tractor. We can then make a start on the large patio area on the south side.

Guest bedroom finished


Meanwhile, the builders have made a start on the path around the north and east side of the cottage. Hopefully, by the time they get to the front, the ground will be dry enough to lay the patio. At last we are getting some drier and warmer weather so here's hoping!

Ready for painting

The window surrounds have been finished inside and out. Glass and window furniture are all fitted.Tomorrow the plumber comes to fit the new radiator and on Friday the decorator starts.
It should only take a couple of days to finish the painting, so I'm hopeful of getting the carpets fitted in the middle of next week. Just in time - I have a visitor staying in the back bedroom next Friday night!
