Collected the new corner posts; the ones to cover the discrepancy between the Rockwall wall and the Rendalath wall, and the new corner post for the third corner window. Took them off to the powder coater and collected them on Thursday. That seems very efficient especially with the length of time it usually takes to get anything done. Just waiting for some timber to be sized and then we can fit them.
Andrew finished off the roof completely yesterday, lowering a couple of corners which seemed a bit proud, and capping some bits of roof where it was likely a nail would protrude in due course. These are the expensive, extra long nails which had to be purchased, and which were not put into the joists, but just protruded through the insulation and osb board (first builder's failing).
George has been to finalise what we want for the paths to the house. Start in a couple of weeks.
Our young plumber is coming to put a tap by the gate on Monday.
Mark spent all Friday morning building the drawers for the new kitchen unit, only to find that they had sent one which were too big for the carcass. IKEA very helpful and new drawers being sent and old ones collected, next Tuesday.
We have sanded and varnished the sink worktop as the varnish we put on was lifting with hot cups on it. Hopefully the new stuff will solve the problem.
