Builders here all day, but mostly working next door. Brickies are finishing the walls, starting with the outer wall of next door. Windows have arrived for next door, and our neighbour has been busy oiling them prior to installation (so glad we have metal frames that will never need any maintenance - if I want to spend time oiling and varnishing timber I have a whole boat to play with).
We did have two bits of action on our side of the divide today - our dinky little triangular window is now in place - it seems to get smaller every time I look, but I'm still pleased to have it. And we had asked if it would be possible to get rid of a bit of brickwork that sticks out as you come into the living area and which has always looked like a bit of a mistake. The answer was yes, and even better, they've taken out the masonry above the arch as well, making the entrance from hall to living area bigger and much less cramped looking.
Electrician comes tomorrow so we have to work out where we want power points. From experience I know you never get this right - you always want more than you have, and in different places, once you actually arrange the furniture. But we will do what we can to try to anticipate every possible need.
