They have started putting the felt on the roof today. All the old horrid tiles off the original end. They haven’t taken all the tiles off the front left hand side just yet as they want a covered area to keep some if it waterproof for the supplies they have inside still.
You can see where the bifold doors are going...the right hand side with the red support in the middle. Three panes of glass either side which will fold back concertina fashion leaving a large opening into the garden.
Three good things:
1. Connie & I went up Beacon Fell but the rain was chucking down & thunder & lightening.....we came down from hills & had a bit better walk lower down....still raining though! Connie’s dog walker has broken a bone in her hand so it’s all hands on deck.
2. We were quoted an extra £5000 for the roof slates..... the quote was for tiles. Our builder sent us off to,look at a new roof using modern tiles & thankfully we liked them.....that £5000 will tarmac the drive! Another GT is that the original tiles have a 16 week wait time whereas the ones we’ve picked will be here on Friday!
3. The smell of wild garlic!
@judithg The funny part is we bought it for the long garden but at the moment we’re thinking perhaps it’s too big....Harry will be mowing it soon & he’s still in pain...
@judithg I went into the surgery yesterday Judith to ask if the results where back.....he has to ring in himself....she wouldn’t tell me anything! Patient confidentiality gone mad! She did say not in the file yet which I took to mean no result yet! He’s hasn’t a ride on at the moment, he’s had one before but he likes walking behind...might come to that yet which is fine.
Thank you all.....we are so pleased with everything & how its going! The builders....just two of them are amazing! Phil even does a bit of a detour to drop our mail off on the way home!
Always so cheerful too....😀
@happypat patient confidentiality gone mad indeed. Have you got Power of Attorneys set up? Much easier and less expensive to do when everybody is fit and of sound mind. There are finance and health ones & both become very useful!
