Back again! Since last Monday, we've been doing the preparation for the turf-paving with soil delivered Thursday and the turf Friday afternoon. Lots of work each afternoon or very early morning (out of the heat as much as possible) linking countless pavers together, preparing the ground, setting out etc and then spreading the loam into the pavers and finally on Friday afternoon, laying the turf. More to be done to complete the whole driveway but we've done enough to get us started and will complete the job once we are in.
Meanwhile, Peter (floors) has been sanding and coating, sanding and coating..... finishing the last coat on the floors Friday. They look pretty fantastic.
Also Friday the fellow from Stegbar was there putting in shower screens, bathroom/toilet mirrors and wardrobe doors in bedrooms #2 and #3. They also look great.
The cleaning team moved in today, we settle the final accounts on Monday (ouch) and then start moving in Tuesday with the main stuff arriving from storage Wednesday - the great "adventure" we started so many months ago is almost over!! -- I'll give you the verdict on whether "building a new home" is a good idea next week but I think you can already guess what the answer will be!
