The site has been very busy this week. Tiling began Monday and will continue all week - this will be completed by Friday or Monday at the very latest.
Floor tiling in the kitchen
Had to make a few last minute changes to the tiles as not all the originally selected tiles were not in stock by the time the order was placed and we do not have the time to wait for the next delivery.

The electrician has been in most days.
Renderer is due later this week to finish of the lightwell.
The feature stainless steel downpipe feeding directly into the water tank was delivered Monday and installed this morning. Builder is waiting on the external services cupboard frame in which the rain watertank sits before the tank can be correctly sited, levelled and connected to the downpipe. Pity the tank wasn't connected last week: after Wednesday's record rains it would probably have been filled. Have asked that a cover be placed over the inlet hole until the system is connected to avoid building debris, dust and render silting up the tank.

Steel angle irons forming the open balustrade between the stairwell and the kitchen and at the full length window in the south upstairs bedroom have been fixed in place. The sharp edges have to be ground off.
