Wednesday 19th September 2013 Today, I think, the kitchen and hallway walls were plastered. I have no photos, and it is now Sunday evening, and I cannot remember what actually happened. Pretty sure the builders were off on Thursday, giving me a day of peace …. before the plumbers arrived.

Tuesday 18th September 2013 Today the builders plastered the kitchen ceiling and did some other bits. Handles on the utility double door and the doorway to the living room was finished. Sure other stuff was done but cannot for the life of me think what right now. So some more photos.
Day 42: Utility Doors Hung, Cornice Added, Holes Filled

Monday 14th September 2013 Almost 2 months into the build, although we did have about 2 weeks off in total (holidays and rainy days). Today saw the utility doors get hung. The original plan was to use one of the 33 inch doors but this was just impossible in the space. Well, we could have…

Sounds like a few things need…
