The End - for now

It's the end of Week 17 and the beginning of the two weeks trades holiday. There will be some activity over the next couple of weeks, however, it's likely to be confined to some plumbing and electrical work.

The team has spent the last few days finishing off the new canopy to the front and the cloakroom roof. The latter took three attempts to get right, to the great dismay of the joiner. The deal was that this new roof wasn't going to look like a badly fitting hat. It did, so the whole thing had to come apart. Second attempt still wasn't right, so it was with a huge degree of relief the third was spot-on and in line with the design of the new extension roof. Over the next couple of weeks, the canopy and roof will also be clad with stainless steel to bring the old and the new structures “together”.
