The builders have managed to get some more stone work done on the right hand side extension to the point it should be ready for roof timbers in a couple of days.

Meanwhile Jebson Construction have been knocking through in a couple of places inside. We have chosen to remove one of the original walls from the house and build it back up in block work to increase the space, the original wall was stripped of the outer layer of stone to use elsewhere but it left a messy uneven wall that was too thick and took up too much room. The best solution was to totally remove it and build it back up as block work. It would make it easier to plaster too.

Jebsons have also knocked through to the third bedroom from the landing to start creating the doorway. Everything needs holding up until lintels are put in.

They have also started knocking through into the front ground floor extension from the kitchen.

Things are starting to open up inside considerably but we have had to get a little bit more stone for the outside than originally thought. Only a couple of sqare meters though so not bad. The roofer was not convinced by the state of the original roof at the rear of the house as the felt had decayed over time. Although we are on a budget it is best to have the roof done now and to be honest the price quoted was decent value so we will have a totally new roof over the whole house when complete. Top job!
