Steel & Stone week - up to Nov 2nd & Nov 9th

Stonework around sunroom going well, awaiting sills which finally will be delivered on 2nd Nov - and off up again they can go after that.

Steel for over windows arrived (minus 2 lintels) so trying to locate them now. Garage work can continue so that should be finished by early next week. Finished on Nov 3rd. Scaffolding still up in front of it so photo to arrive later!

1 beam over front door needs to be inserted into the side walls so core-drilling dude required for that. and get him to core out vents in kitchen and utility while he's there! Core work done on 2nd Nov, steel through front door holes on the following Tues. 6 men to do that. Now stone continuing up the wall. Sunroom sills put in just this week, and stone going up around them. Still locating the 2 final steel lintels (special screw fixing required to attach it to the corner of wall (nothing to support it from ground up - all fun)

Slabber nearly finished inside - besides the 2 open window areas and the sunroom. Some small bits to be done still this week Nov9th, hard to get him to just finish it off! Hope to get plasterer back to start skimming next Monday 12th Nov.
