Everybody and their Uncle

As well as the builder lads, Thierry the plumber arrived this morning, with his uncle. Once they'd started to fit the underfloor heating it became obvious that fitting the water pipes into the underfloor insulation was a 2 man job.

It didn't begin to rain till lunchtime, so the lads had time to make a start on the roof. The 'suspended' scaffolding looks very stable.

However, as soon as it started to rain everything was covered up again.

During the course of the afternoon it became sunshine and showers, so the builders were filling in time. So work began on cementing under the patio windows and more work on the steps down to the 'Breakfast' patio.

All of this activity cramped my style a bit, but I kept out of the way, working on the joints in the plasterboard in the kitchen.

The plumber says that he will finish the first section of the under floor heating on Friday and then Cyrille will cover it with a screed on Monday. So, by this time next week, I can start working in the bedroom, bathroom etc. in order for us to get out of John and Lesley's house before they come out here at the end of May.
