WEEK 24 - Moving forward? (Delay = 8 weeks)

Having spent the weekend stripping the front door of 50 years' worth of varnish, the new week has started in a slightly more upbeat manner. Yes, the plumber is late and will now arrive on Wednesday/Thursday to install the en-suite, but the room itself is now pretty much done. The ceiling has already received three coats of paint and with a couple of more to go, should be fit for a few years of active use.

The builders have even started to give some thought to how we can move things forward. The demolition of the hall archway is now back on the cards and, as long as the structural engineer is happy, we can start taking this down. The internal door issue has also been resolved - we won't do anything with the existing doors for the time being. This will save 6-8 weeks and we can easily replace these doors once the main project is out of the way.
