A quick trip to the house today to move another 600 bricks to the back of the house.Imagine our surprise to see the site has been 'cleaned' up a little. The builders have moved the bricks, but not to the back of the house :-(
So more carrying this time with gloves. The last of the external work (the roof structure for the garage can be seen on the garage floor. Giorgia is just mopping her forehead after moving all the bricks.
Here we can see Giorgia climbing up the ladder to the second floor, and a view through the dining room into the back garden. Cornicing has now been put on both floors, skirting boards have now been delivered (although we had thought the tiles would be laid before the skirting boards where put in-place). The staircase should be put in this week (no more need to climb the ladder).
The side of the house is where we will be putting our vegetable garden (once everything else is done) even in the depths of Winter it still gets sunlight, so we should be able to grow veggies all year round. The second image is the back of the back garden looking towards the house , no more piles of broken bricks, but I think we will have to do something about the drainage on the clay soil.

From the dining room into the kitchen area. (the hose reaching to the floor, is for the rangehood in the kitchen) at least the smell of cooking will be drawn out of the house. The door to the left is into the media room and to the right the mud room and laundry.
Upstairs in the master bedroom, with the walk in robes and bathroom through the door to the right. The balcony through the french doors still needs to have the railings and tiles laid.
The back garden (now tidied) from the balcony in the master bedroom. Here you can clearly see 5 piles of bricks (400 bricks per pile) with a smaller 280 brick pile. On the right of the picture you can see why we will have to do something about drainage in the garden.
Through to the master bedroom bathroom, not much of an upgrade from last week, no bath in place yet. The bathroom is still missing a window (before we move in hopefully) :-)
