Not making daily posts............ Monday 25th November

I am not making daily posts  for two reasons.  Firstly I have been away, this time to sunny Yorkshire; and secondly, not much to show you.

However, the boiler has been mostly installed - just the connection of the external pipe to the gas box and the boiler, which will happen this afternoon.

Don't know what has happened to builder this cold and very frosty morning. (Just heard he is buying more insulation for the roof panel).

But the tricky placing of the upper panel below the roof has taken a long time, as the roof itself is not level at the edges.  Now it is too cold to put the render on, so once all the insulation and the Renderlath is on its all go on the interior.

and the extract pipe for the boiler.

Nice bit of paint on the new render around the base of the building.......

Tomorrow the wood burning stove gets delivered, and on Wednesday George, our bricklayer comes to look at installing it and tidying up the brickwork on the chimney.  We are having it three bricks up from the floor, so that it is not really sitting on a hearth.  See a couple of posts ago for a picture of what the stove looks like.

We have abandoned doing anything else to the floors, as the Epimac sits in the uneven furrows and looks a rather unpleasant yellow.  I won't say what it reminds me of....... So, it will be lots of rugs.

That said, we can now organise to have our furniture moved out of store...... next Monday actually!  And I am organising the delivery of the fridge freezer and the cooker.  Pictures of these in the next post.

Thanks to everyone who has sent comments, they are much appreciated.
