And Another Difficult Week, With Lots More Done.

The week started with the fitting of the 2 enormous windows both sides of the lounge, weighing over 450 kilograms each!!
Wonderful to watch but a bit frightening at the same time.
The first one had to pass through one window & be taken across the lounge to be fitted, a procedure which was time consuming & very hard work for the team. Coffee & croisants/chocos all round seemed to help before the 2nd one went in. This one was marginally easier as the delivery wagon had a fancy bit of kit (huge suckers) which could hold the window until the team lifted into place thus making life a lot easier.
Unfortunately delivery of all the white goods & the oven for the kitchen/utility room, plus the TV on the same day was to say the least unfortunate!
Here’s the photos. Wish that we could post the videos which really show how it was done.

There’s been lots of progress with the kitchen, the lights, the heat pump, the water softener, our wardrobes, bathrooms, the stove (to be revealed next week) & the lights.


And now the news.
There is one problem with the polished concrete floors to resolve & we’re working on it.
Otherwise we have insisted that the entire project be finished for the 21st December when it can then be handed over to us.
We need some days of no frost & no rain to allow the team to organise the external groundworks & levels + finish the terracing, paths & parking etc & last but not least to install the gates. It looks as though the temperature at night should be fine but they may have to work around the odd shower.
Assuming now that all goes well it will be Louise’s birthday present & our Christmas present.
We just can’t wait!! Our move will be next year but for once January will pass very quickly!
