- It’s exactly 10 months since building work started, meaning today was the original forecast completion date; it’s currently expected to take about another month to make the house habitable and a bit longer than that before the landscaping and decorating is complete<\/li>\n
- The plasterers completed the last room, marking the end of their continuous 11 weeks of work\n
- \n
- Mostly a two-person team assisted by one or two others on occasions, so something like 25 weeks of effort<\/li>\n
- A really top-quality job including some difficult areas – especially the inside of the curved roof (which looks amazing, even inside the storage cupboards)<\/li>\n
- I’d highly recommend GC Interfinish<\/a> to anyone wanting quality plastering in the East Midlands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- All the scaffolding on the south side got dismantled ready for the installation of the solar shading next week, meaning that today’s time-lapse photo looks a lot different from yesterday’s<\/li>\n
- Thanks to some better weather, the majority of the zinc got installed on the north roof, with just a few sections left to complete – and then the fascias, down-pipes etc.<\/li>\n
- The kitchen worktops arrived and the sink worktop and splash-back is finished but there was a mishap fine-tuning the cut-out for the flush-fitting induction hob and the worktop for the island will have to be re-made\n

- I think the mid-grey colour (Silestone Cemento<\/a>) looks a bit odd against the bare plaster, the blue protective film over the gloss-finish cabinet fronts and the cardboard protecting the polished concrete floor but it should look better when everything is finished<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
