It has now been about 3 weeks since I updated this blog, so sorry but it would seem that every evening we spend time trying to find stuff for the house (@ the cheapest possible price) and that is my poor reason for not updating.
But here goes,
We have a roof on top of the rear extension (Builders did this) and insulation is now up (I did this.
I have also fitted two french doors to the rear extension.
The builders have now knocked through from the kitchen to the new rear extension, they did this the same day as I fitted the doors so the house is now secure. I have in the last couple of days knocked through from the living room to the corridor you should be able to see in earlier pictures, this makes the room alot bigger in size as we always thought the front room was quite small Karen's Stephen will appreciate this however what is worse doing this or buying a new house??
The builders have finished all the brick work and are now working on the attic conversion and I believe that they will be starting the dormer tomorrow. So all the work that is being done by the builders is pretty much up in the attic.
So the plan now is to try and get the front room finished so that we can move all our stuff in there and the old computer room will need to be emptied soon for the door into the room above the garage and also the staircase.
Will leave now with some pictures.
