Overcast but fine today.  

Regular site meeting with the builder at 1pm.

Good progress is continuing at the site.  The first floor blockwork is about halfway in height to the roof line.

We have been finalising the window schedule: we need to reconfigure the kitchen window to fit the revised kitchen bench layout, as well as incorporating a change to the location of the balustrade to the rear bedroom's French doors.  We are also having a last look at the type of door to the internal light well from both the upstairs bedroom and downstairs lounge area; whether to leave them as sliders or to install French doors. 

Although we originally planned to replaster the eastern boundary wall, we have become attached to its interesting texture and will leave it untouched, turning it into a feature which in a small way reconnects to the past. 

Similarly, we will feature the exposed corbelled chimney brickwork rather than cover it up.  We have to make a slight rearrangement to the ensuite layout but it will not affect the plumbing.
