Dave has hung the rest of the French Doors, plus the stable door to the office/study, and then we had the downstairs screed laid. For the first time we have a real perspective of the final feel of the building.
Christian and Cain putting the waste pipes in. The major change has been seeing the plastering, especially to the lightwell, plus the vaulted ceilings, the lightwell is a triumph I feel for all concerned.
Sadly though we are just one week, (and for us at South Barn, one last day) away from Dave, Mick and Adam finishing and moving on. It will be a very strange site without them, the place is unrecognisable from the heap of rubble they started with. I don't think we have had a cross word with each other since they started, its been an absolute pleasure working with Dave, he's always been completely on message with what I've wanted to see created here, always understood the little details which make the whole thing work and he'll be sorely missed.
Its now time to move on to the non-building works, plastering downstairs, the stairs, second fix lighting, floor finishes, bathrooms and kitchen, decorating and heating.

So, Rob, I've finally come on your blog. And what a sight to see! I want to ask about the underfloor heating. I was recently told that it's actually bad for the circulation in your legs... What do you know about this? I went to a restaurant here in Portugal which had radiators plastered into the walls - just as much wall space, therefore, as underfloor heating, but with hot walls! (Obviously, inner walls only - I can imagine the problems with having them embedded in external walls...)
Keep in touch buddy. Aidan x
