Brick wall

 

Here the moisture insulation in the sauna and shower room, going under the floor tiles and first row of the wall tiles. Floor tiles due to go in tomorrow.

Kitchen brick wall was tiled today, and it look's just as amazing as Mrs B hoped for :-) It's one of the big "must have's" in the house that she really wanted and here it is. Grouting will still go on later to finish it off but looking great even without it:

Tiling

 Tiling started today, the shower room downstairs was first. The walls there are done now. Also went to collect the rest of the tiles from the shop so they are all on site now. Mrs B had a nice day off work just pottering about on site, cleaning up a bit, measuring and planning the furniture and curtains etc... still hoping for Christmas in the new house!

First bit of snow

So we got the first bit of snow last night! Winter tyres are on (after some trouble...) for both Mr & Mrs B so all set for the snowy and icy roads. Also perfect timing to level and fill the garden before it all freezes for a few months! Site looks very different now that it's all levelled and filled. Inside not that much progress, our plasterer/painter seems to be too busy elsewhere, hoping to see more of him next week... regardless, tiling will start Monday!

Decking

 The brick tiles for the dining area wall arrived and Mrs B went to collect them straight away and carried in 19 boxes of them... nice little work out after a days work. Tomorrow will go and get all the other tiles, so the tiling can start. Decking at the back is done and now only the front entrance is left.
