Plastering is nearly complete inside the extension and the outside of the house is looking heaps better after some initial layers of paint.
The builders are also starting to gut the inside of the house, starting on the old bathroom and the old kitchen, which will now be a utility room.
They've also been pulling out glass fibre from the roof which is probably 100 years old.
In order to ensure the dining room still gets enough light and the kitchen gets plenty in too, we've finally had our roof lanterns installed.
They will have uplights in them once they're done and the electrics are in giving of a nice glow at night.
We're both really happy with how they look.
The build of the extension is going ahead nicely. We've had the roof go on since I last blogged about it. It's not completely finished yet, still some more bitumen to go on but largely there.
They've also been working on the new drainage system under the foundations so that been some mucky, hard work for them.
More when I have it.
The builders have managed to get the walls built up this week, he's really happy with the progress he's making, and so are we.
He thinks he should had the roof on by next week and make it all watertight, so going great guns at the moment.
Pictures of the progress so far below.
So it's taken 3 months but the foundations are finally in!
The piling company came yesterday and put in the cages, which you can see below, which have anti-heave under them. It's basically glorified polystyrene. They then proceeded to fill all the trenches with concrete which set overnight.
We had to lock the cats in to make sure we didn't have half a kitty sticking out of wet cement.
Anyway, very happy to have that all out of the way, so onward and upward now with the build!
