Slow & Steady

It’s a recurring theme but slowly does it is probably best to describe our build this year. Where as last year we went weeks with nothing happening this year a few things just happen every week and as I said last week eventually they will run out of things to do and just hand us the keys.

I certainly prefer slow but steady progress than the stop start approach.

This week saw the plastering completed except for the ceiling in the alfresco. The garage floor poured and about a 1/3 of the architrave work completed. Some of the wardrobes have started but alas, not all the down lights have been cut out so I still cant cut out for my ceiling mounted speakers. I spoke with our Construction Manager and apparently I will be able to do this tomorrow or Wednesday.

Below you will find some photos and for the first time they have all be taken from outside as we stuck by our vow not to enter the house. This is mainly to save any potential issues with the kids causing damage but depending on what sort of progress has been made and what is left laying around we still reserve the right to use our magic key!!!

We hope that by next weekend with some extra effort the “fixing” stage will be completed thus leaving open the possibility of a handover this side of Easter, woo hoo!!
