Grand Designs (episode 3)



Right, back to business.


Up at 6am (couldn't sleep) to make my way over the water and greet the laminate floor fitters and check how things in general are getting on.


The rear chimney stack has been taken down and is waiting to be 'capped off' and the front chimney stack has been shortened. 550 'blown' bricks have nearly all been replaced at the upper gable end with matching Cheshire pre war common bricks (73mm).


The repointing to the rear exterior is almost finished too. 


We've now had our second cement mixer on site and the second skip is half full. It's this kind of detail which I will cherish forever!?
  
The flooring is also down and she's starting to feel more like a home.


8 days until moving day!
