This has been an absolutely critical week, with some major tasks
completed. All pipework for the plumbing and the tubing for the electrical
wiring has been laid on the two lower floors of the main house and
concreted over. This is now dry which means the underfloor heating can
be laid on top, commencing Monday. The kitchen has not yet been done,
because there is some additional electrical wiring still to be installed.
The kitchen has been installed in the cottage and most of the lights fitted.
final coat of paint, wood floor laid on the first floor, pianelli cleaned and
polished on the ground floor and internal doors fitted.
Concreting almost complete. A good view of the cantilevered stone staircase which
is a major feature in the reception room.
