ToughButterCup Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Those hundred things you haven't thought of yet can wait a bit. While you take pleasure in what you've achieved. Well done. Me? I'm off to get the washing out, the salad picked, the dogs de-fleaed, Sid wormed, the gates taken off, the TAF ready for another night of newts, the door lintel pinned so the next postie doesn't lose his toes, the HERAS up and secured, the soup ready for when @MrsRA gets back (her pipe and slippers by the fireside, the Guardian ironed and laid out where she likes it, the gin on ice and a few cheques for her to sign ). And there's you basking in Devon sunshine. Lovely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Glad your getting on so well, with this fine weather I am even more frustrated at lack of progress and hoping to start digging founds soon, just praying for an Indian summer ( warm and dry till Christmas ?)

janedevon Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Seems a long time ago january when we first started groundworks, just all speeding up suddenly. Polished concrete floor now looks a distinct possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 You have all the major work beat now so line up the next trades and knock the jobs of one by one. Take your time with each trade explaining how important it is you don't want 100mm holes in the walls before they start. Holes in walls are the last resort not first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divorcingjack Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Let me know how your floor goes too! That's the hope for our build. Is it a slab, or a polished screed? Looks lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
