Week 42, Day 4

Week 42, Day 4:

  • More progress on the zinc roofing though again restricted by the weather and slowed up by the fiddly detailing around the roof windows
    • The photo shows the contrast between the fresh-from-the-mill zinc and the material that has been in the weather for just a week
  • More plastering – now just one room left to finish (the ground floor shower room)
  • Extending the oak flooring in the office on to the landing
  • More wall tiling in the first-floor bathroom
  • More electrical second-fix in the kitchen, now as complete as it can be pending the installation of the worktops (originally planned for today but now due tomorrow)

Week 42, Day 3

Week 42, Day 3:

  • Some more work on the zinc roof though progress was restricted by the strong and gusty wind – not compatible with manipulating 4m x 0.5m lengths of zinc sheeting at height
  • Good progress on the cedar cladding for the reveals around the windows on the south side of the first floor, where the scaffolding will be removed in a couple of days
  • Applying the protective oil to the cedar cladding most recently installed – e.g. the window reveals and around the balcony
  • More second-fix plumbing, including the supply and waste connections for the kitchen sink and dishwasher – easier before the worktops are installed – and the twin washbasin the the Master Bedroom En-Suite
  • More second-fix electrical, mainly the isolators for the various kitchen appliances
  • More plastering, mainly in the Hallway
