A floor!

First concrete screed down.
It’s looking more like a space you could live in now!
The concrete goes round the wall on the left & will eventually go right across to the right where the extension will be!

I've started an Instagram account for the house today, as I can only post so many photos on here! 🏠 So, for anyone on Instagram who's interested in following the progress, feel free to follow along: https://www.instagram.com/eachstepoftheway/

Three good things:
1. The shed man has been to check up on the size of the cement base needed.
2. The building regs man has decided that the foundations for the new extension has to be piled instead of dug....clay too far down! Might be a bit more expensive but should save time...I think the builder is pleased they haven’t to dig down over 2 metres!
3. Snow showers that aren’t sticking!

[Joan Robillard]

[Lynda McG]

[Bep]

So nice to see your renovation photos!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Nice progress - I hope you resisted from putting a footprint in it !!

[carol white]

Progressing well

[Dawn]

Moving along well

[Dianne]

Yay - nice progress for you.

[Pat Knowles]

@lyndamcg Ha ha Lynda I didn’t realise Jack had put the link up here & wondered how you had managed to find the new account!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl I did resist but Connie made her mark on a inside wall foundation last week!

[Judith Greenwood]

Looks like great progress and good weather for it. Fingers crossed they don’t get slowed down by the cold.

@casablanca @louannwarren @fueast @joansmor @gijsje @carolmw @dide

I have to thank you all for showing so much mighty interest in our renovation project! I do feel a bit like someone forcing our holiday photos on you! We are thinking of not much else at the moment if course but didn’t expect you to as well!
@lyndamcg @beryl

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg I was praying that the snow didn’t stick Judith....they say once the piles are in & the rest of the base done they will romp on with walls & roof.

[Judith Johnson]

I expect you can imagine how it's going to look now, exciting!

[Hazel]

Glad all is going well. Exciting but could be a little nerve wracking as well I suspect. We had about 4 mins snow at 6.30!

[bkb in the city]

Looks good

[Maggiemae]

I do hope it doesn't rain with all those gaps in the roof! You could have put heating coils in that concrete on the floor!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Insulation goes on next maggie then underfloor heating coils then another thin layer of concrete I believe.

[Sarah Bremner]

Well that certainly looks like progress. I'll find you on Instagram too!

[Babs]

Beginning to take shape. I see it is fully air conditioned at the moment.
I opened an Instagram account so I could follow your progress. I hope I can open it without actually posting any photos at the moment and I have requested an invite to follow you.

[Lois]

So much work being done! Following on Instagram!

[Issi Bannerman]

Wow, that's quite the piece of work you're doing. Fascinating. I'll pop across to instagram to see more of the detail!

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing I can see any request Babs but it’s hard learning how to manage two accounts to!! I’m new to the job & having tuition off Jack by messenger. I’m seeing him today so will get a bit more info about it all. Thank you for your interest.
I just thought it would be good to keep renovation photos in a different account, a place where we could record it all without inundating my other pages with building work. It’s also interesting to follow others in a similar situation, there are a lot of us!
@jamibann

[Pat Knowles]

@sarah19 @loweygrace Thank you both.

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing It’s OK Babs I can see your name there! 😍

[Karen]

Wow you are really doing a large reno.....Looks like it is progressing well.

[Dione Giorgio]

Looks very smooth already. My son-in-law took hundreds of shots of their new house when they renovated it.

[Granny7(Denise)]

You will be sitting in there before you know it

[Barbara Paquette]

There, now all you need is a roof and some walls 🤣

[Monique]

Progress 💪

[GaryW]

How amazing to see the transformation. I've started following your Instagram account! Feel free to follow me back. I've got lots more photos there than I post here.
