Work started first thing this morning and there is already progress being made.  The skip that we had removed last week, has now re-appeared, but this time being paid for the builders. 

Scaffolding has started to be erected at the rear of the property, but it will be the end of the week before it is complete.  This is in preparation for removing the roof.  This should happen next week.

We also had a visit from the engineer from Northern Power Grid.  He is looking into the feasibility of providing us with 3 phase electricity for the ground source heat pump.  We would also like to re-route the existing single phase supply so that it is not attached the front of the property.  It would appear (at least from today’s conversation) that both requests are pretty straightforward.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

I an going to be down in London over the next few days, so it will be Friday before I get to see the house again.  I am really looking forward to seeing how much progress they manage to make for the rest of the week.

Day one and the scaffolding has already started to be erected.  The roof comes off next week.

Day one and some real progress.  Also lots and lots of rain.  For once, the weather was great over the Bank holiday but then terrible during the week.  Time for me to catch up on some paperwork indoors.
