Slow progress

The dining room work is dragging on a bit, partly because I have spent much of the past two weeks away but also due to tradesman availability, waiting for stuff to dry and so on. The room is now plastered, the new radiator fitted, electrics completed and coving & skirting boards done. The plaster has at last fully dried out, ready for painting, which is scheduled for next week. The carpets will be fitted to the remainder of the house during the first week in December and then I should be able to move back in, in time for Christmas!


Meanwhile, work has started outside, although it's bitterly cold. The rainwater drainage system has been installed and the foundations are in place for a retaining wall for the path around the new extension. Hopefully the wall will get built in the next few days. The pebble dashing around the new windows on the east side has also been completed.
