Excitement in the Air

Our builder Cyrille seems intent on pushing things along. We thought that they would be on Christmas holiday this coming Friday for 2 weeks, but he told us today that they will be carrying on from Boxing Day. He obviously wants to get things ready for the plumber, hence the sudden urgency. As we now understand it, they'll be off for 1 week after New Year's Day and then possibly have a second week sometime in February. That's fine by us as the sooner we can get into the downstairs bedroom (with a concrete floor) the sooner we can crack on.

The door from the stairway into the kitchen is virtually done; they're just finishing off connecting the lintel through to the concrete floor of the salon. But they are also preparing to open up the doorway into the salon, so they've cut a hole in the wooden floor above. I think they're doing the minimum to the flooring until they can liase with the stair man. (Wait for more news.)

So, whilst this is drying work resumed on the kitchen back door!

We also had the electrician here today. He's fixing wiring in all of those areas where concreting will be done.

We're finding it really exciting to see lots of things happening! No doubt there will be other times when there's a lull, but hopefully by then, we'll be able to be getting on inside.
