Done, Well For 2007 Anyway

What a brisk couple of weeks.  I can’t believe two weeks ago the site had not changed in my period of ownership.

Well, I best be careful. The folks spent a good few sunny days cutting down the triffids that had sprouted.  But whilst that took us closer to the ground I don’t think the planning office would accept that as a start.

So in two weeks, or actually nine working days, three of them too cold to brick lay, how far have we come?

The aim of the builder was damp proof course.  We are all but there, and I’m certain would have been, but for the weather this week.

In fact, a disappointed builder thinks he would have laid the load bearing slab (I think that’s builder for part of the floor).  Still I can’t see why he should be disappointed.  They’ve done a great job. Both in quality and progress.

The brick delivery has been scheduled for Monday the 7th, and the builder is hoping to be in a position to use them. 

What’s been most pleasing this week, is my child buying into the process even more.  Today he gave everyone a tour of the foot-print, pedantically via where the doors will be. “You can’t go across there, that’s a wall.”

We actually had a few tears and a mini-tantrum when we came away, he really is enjoying the experience.

Mind, I’m really surprised he didn’t want to come into the warm. As in his words not mine, “It’s bloody cold.” Well they are actually mine, and it’s my fault he was temporarily potty mouthed. Still, I couldn’t argue.
