The final slates have been put in place, the lead flashings finished...we even have new gutters! and it all looks totally transformed. Scaffolding should be removed early this week, then the cottage should be at least water tight for the winter weather!
One gable of cottage has been completely repointed, and the work on the other side began today.
Have agreed with builders for next stage of works, interior wall to be demolished, kitchen timber cladding, old tiles and ceiling to be removed, and also all skirting boards and door architraves also to come off, and new blockwork to create a shower room. Hopefully, this work will all be done before christmas.
