My guys are here until Saturday, then off until 3rd Jan.
The loft is finished bar the painting, and the final electrical fitting. The emergency repairs to the rear extension are finished structurally, the outside is pebbledashed. A bit of tidying & preparation tomorrow, with the plastering on Saturday. Then it all dries out over Christmas and the new year. In the new year, the work will be concentrated on replacing the garage at the side of the house, and we will get our life back again.
But today the dangling BT cable for the phone/internet was still there after the scaffolding came down. I rang BT and they quoted 3 days. The BT Openreach engineer arrived within the hour and completed the fixing and testing within an hour. So about 2 hours from phone call to completion!! A Christmas miracle!!
