Easter slow down

We've had an interesting few weeks, with Elizabeth and myself now well into our Covid recoveries and managing to walk increasing distances each day, sometimes without the need for a midday nap. Work on the house has slowed to a stop over this last (Easter) weekend. Our family bathroom was tiled last week and the downstairs shower room is due for completion next week, to be followed, we hope, by Sion soon coming back to fit all the sanitaryware. Rob did a day last week, taking cabling to the kitchen island and popping up a couple of outside lights. He reckons to have a total of four more days' work to do on site, including the fitting of garden circuits.

We are now getting impatient about how much longer we will need to be in our rental property. We have been here for 14 months now and, cost aside, will be glad to move on. We have even started packing up our books and thinking hard about which items of furniture are not going to make the move with us.

this was the first half-day's progress with the tiling of the bathroom

it awaits Sion's attention to connect up all the pipes

the tiling progresses .....


..... to completion except for the bath panel which must await the plumbing

outside, at the front, the porch has a newly plastered ceiling .....

..... and a rendered side wall

and the side wall of the garage has its final coat of render

the first of our 'eyebrow' external lights is in place

Eighteen months have passed

Image
So it has been a year and a half since the last blog post. Yes, I have become lazy about updates and yes, the last few things have been completed. Well not quite - we still need to have the labels removed from the velux windows, and I need to sort out the building insurance policy, but to all intents and purposes we are there, and have been for the last few months. We had waited a while for Pat to sort out the last few things. The replacement skylight had been leaning against the container tor the best part of a year, the lovely stone walls remained uncapped, and the pedestrian path from the gate to the front door remained unfinished. In the end it took an email following the death of a close contemporary to elicit a response from Pat, and then things happened quickly. He had struggled to find someone whose work he trusted to finish the epoxy gravel path. Sadly we were away when the work was done, but we were very pleased with the result. We were also away when Pat capped Andy's st...

Gravel, gates, and a working wood-burning stove

Image
Pat had wanted to wait for Andy's completion of the boundary walls to lay the gravel-retaining grids and the crushed stone. With one of their characteristically early starts, the front parking area began to be transformed. The white grids, which have attached landscaping fabric, protect the tree roots and reduce the gravel's tendency to wander by lunchtime we had a new look and with gates in place, a black paint finish preferred to the galvanised look, it just remains for the approach from the road to be tarmaced and the pedestrian path given its resin-bound top layer This week Chris finally arrived to fit the flue which links the woodburner to the chimney lining. It started like this, with lots of boxes of bits,  and finished like this V and at night, with the blinds drawn and the complimentary/complementary carmine Clearview gauntlets, it looks like this: Oh, and I've been at work with the panto-router and a piece of old oak, and we have a house sign: We still haven't...

We have boundary walls

Image
After just over 7 weeks of continuous Monday to Friday working from first thing in the morning to the end of daylight in all weathers, Andy has completed our boundary walls, examples, we think, of masonry magic. We now await Pat and his team fitting the capping stones and the gates, followed by laying the retaining crates and gravel on the drive, with a layer of tarmadam across the entrance shared with our neighbours to finish it off. Andy works to Pat's aesthetic of 'sharp'. It has continually amazed us that his day starts with something like this: and, after hours of hammer-on-bolster-chisel tapping and a mix of a dry mortar, he turns it into something like this: The pedestrian path will in time have a coating of resin-bound gravel and there will be a tiny triangular flowerbed inside the gate. The outer bed (a planning stipulation limited the height of the boundary wall to aid the sightline for traffic approaching the village) will be an extension to our garden. The unuse...
