Today we had 4 plasterers, 1 tile layer. 2 stair builders, 1 architect plus 1 assistant, 1 stone mason and a pipe fitter. Not to mention Reggie Raphael and myself all working in the house. Yes it is that time when things are being finished. The office and master bedroom are ready for painting, the tiles are complete in Raphaels' bathroom, and the walls are complete in the guest bathroom.
All ceilings are now in place, and the plasters are busy finishing the walls. Tonight I spent a few hours in the kitchen cleaning the old mortar away from the old stone wall. Some of this wall will be exposed but other parts will be plastered.
After lunch today the main spine of the new stairs was delivered, and will be installed tomorrow. This will then allow the carpenters to build the walls and door for the second floor.
Tomorrow we have a control meeting with the electrician to ensure that we have not missed anything.
We are busy searching for heated towel rails for each bathroom, as well as the glass shower screens. There is one other piece of bathroom furniture that we require. That is the unit to support the sink in the main en-suite. The tiles do not arrive for 2 more weeks, so we are not concerned.
We must say that the workers in the house really work well together. Let's hope this continues until we finish.
