Unlike myself, the builders have been hard at it as you can see.
Since the last post the gutters & facias were the first things to be added, which was all done last week. Went to the site last weekend & all the roof tiles & battons had been delivered. Thought that might have kept the tilers busy all week but it was all finished by Tuesday night. Mustn't need to get up there any more as the scaffolding has been removed completely from the roof line. Think they seen the weather forecast for the rest of the week & knocked it up as quick as possible. Had to work on the golf handicap maybe.
Bricks & sand were also delivered at the start of the week. The house has been ¾ wrapped with insulation before they could start laying them.
A couple of other minor things have been done in this time as well... Glass has been added to the rear by-folds. Roof trusses over the alfresco finished.
It's amazing how much bigger the house looks now inside with it wrapped & nearly fully enclosed compared to just the frame. Each room is starting to take shape & you can picture how everything will be set up with it all finished.
One thing I am disappointed in is the lack of contact from Carlisle since the start of the site. I would have thought by now, at the stage we are at, that we would be introduced at least to the site supervisor, which hasn't happened. Luckily we only live 5 minutes away from the block, so I do go & check it constantly, but if this wasn't the case & I couldn't regularly pop in when I wanted to, I would have no idea on what is happening, or about to happen.... I dont think a phone call at least is too much to ask for, do you???
brickwork should hopefully start by the end of the week & it should start to look like a real house!!
Can you see the rainbow on the left hand side of the picture... Ahhh, isn't it pretty!!
