I’m delighted to say, or type, delighted again. 

I’m delighted with the way the house appears, minus the scaffold.

It has been a tad delayed in coming down, due to this week’s high winds.  Not really the best conditions for attaching guttering, and I’m glad that it has been done safely and has thus far stuck on.

The rainwater goods themselves are attached directly to the end of the roof trusses.  A fascia and soffit are discarded and this is regarded as of more a cottage style finish.

Many won’t like this style of finish, and it is quite a rare sight on new builds, I’m led to believe, but I think it looks great.

Painting it may well be a right royal pain in the derrière, but that’s got to be better than bit of ‘L’ shaped plastic jimmied between roof tile and wall.

Now there suddenly seems a lot of questions to answer.  Electricians and plumbers need detail, not vague ideologies.  I’m not great at vague ideologies by the way.

Things like the kitchen design now need to be final, so the first fix electrics can marry to it. 

So I’ve a feel I’m suddenly going to be very busy with site business.

Saying that though, I’d have been a lot, lot,  busier had I not developed a very good relationship with both this builder and my brother-in-law electrician.

I’m hoping that by being busy and involved, it will feel like no time before we are actually in it. 

Then the three-foot-foreman can get on with his own modifications.
