Bricks and Drains !!!

So now that the foundations are ready, an army of brickies turn up to lay the first row of engineered bricks. This gives us the perfect view of what space we are going to get.  And boy did they work fast!
Today all the drain works have been completed. Window sizes have roughly been fixed, and i have changed my mind (with a little help from Mr.R) from bi-folding doors to a large French door.


Is my builder a magician? He makes the most awesome dessert of Banoffee pie, or a kinda variation of it. Now how many builders do you know that love cooking? Well maybe there are loads, but this very special Mr.R brings food for me!!! Yay! apart from my Mum no one really did that before!

that black pipe is a temporary pipe into new drain/manhole


I tell you one thing. They are moving very swiftly on this project, and i am enjoying every day of it!  Orange pipes mean underground i learnt today.

So tomorrow after the building inspector has been round it will be time to fill the holes, and do some more filling. The house is fairy high. Lots and lots of filling to be done. Cant really walk out there very much, its pretty hole bound, so more pics later.

Still on the quest for the perfect kitchen. bye for now, mums here and we are off to a wedding tomorrow!
