The heat pump is online and working well. We have hot water! The engineer from Ice Energy was on site all day last Wednesday and finally, after many fine tweaks and tuning to the plumbing, it finally came to live around 5:30pm.
Work is continuing now on the bathrooms, with Matt the plumber hooking up the sinks, taps and showers today. The kitchen work has slowed as we wait on mising materials and parts. The new wine fridge is still not on site, and the stainless steel for the island turned up late and wrong!
I have a new carpenter now (Darrell the last incumbant went AWOL) and he has started work today on the cupboards under the stairs with two new doors that Potton sent over last week. He'll be working on the skirting board next week.
Paul the decorator will be back this week and next to paint the skirting and finish off the last bits of gloss work, and Pete the plasterer will be back on Thursday to finish the plaster work around the staircase and in the utility room.
Oh, and I fitted the internal door handles this weekend and, with a little help from colleage Rupert "Second Row" Davey installed the new canopy over the front door. I didn't have my camera with me on the day so I make an unprecedented apperance in shot thanks to Rupert's camera phone!
