On Target (Builders and Me!)

The stone pediment to the front gable is complete.  It was a challenge to install, due to the weight of each individual section, the height at which the stonemason was working, and also the amount of reinforcement and strapping necessary to secure the units in place.  Now the roofers will be able to continue the tiling and will be working on this next week.

The plasterers are under way on the top floor, tacking the ceilings and dwarf walls.  They will be plastering walls and skimming the plasterboard during the early part of next week.  They're expected to be on the top floor for a couple of weeks, before they move down to the floor below.

We were disappointed to discover that the windows, originally due to be delivered today (4th February), will now be arriving a week late.  The manufacturers have had some trouble in their production line.  Thankfully, losing a week is a manageable delay (or so Jon reliably informs us!) and the builders should be able to cope.  Osborne Developments has a long standing relationship with the company and are confident about the high quality of the product.  In their experience, Perform Eco's service and after sales care is second to none.  We shall see!
