The builders left site this week since the external shell work has now been completed. We are now concentrating on the plastering, decorating, plumbing and electrics.
With the majority of the building work now complete, hopefully, the noisy/dusty/muddy part of the build is complete. We still have the top soil to be put back down in the back field, but we are going to wait until the weather improves.
In between the storms today, I took some photos of the outside of the property.
This is the view of the renovated cottages and the new extension. We still have the gardens wall to finish, but this is going to have to wait until it gets a little warmer!
The sunken garden has still to be finished. However, we have decided to concentrate on getting the inside of the property finished first. The wall in the garden still needs to be finished off when the weather improves.
The bi-folding doors in the new extension, and the double doors in the older part of the property, all open out onto a two level terrace. There are stones steps up to the bi-folding doors in the lounge and timber steps up to the upper terrace outside the master bedroom (the set of bi-folding doors to the right in the new extension).
In between the storms, we have had some sunny weather. This is the back of the building and there are only the last remanants of the builders left behind.
