A quick update


Things are progressing.
There is now a hole in the wall big enough to walk through. Mum not at all happy with the new door, it doesnt open and she wanted one to match the others, calmed down a little when she realised the plywood board was a temporary measure. I had hoped the wall being knocked through would have been a bit of a turning point but I think we will have to wait till there is an actual door that she can open and close at will.


Floor is chased out for the walk in shower waste, flooring people here in the morning to measure up. This area will be the wetroom, the dividing wall will go in once the floor levels are ok.


The window is in and glazed, wall insulated and blocked up. The white wall to the left is part of the dividing wall between the garages, needs to be blocked up. Sorry about the abysmal photos, will try to remember to get some in daylight tomorow.



All in all seems to be progressing nicely. House a little dusty but to be expected after taking out the wall.


Mum very much up and down today, had a little hissy fit with the builders, luckily they are both brilliant with her, and understand just when and how to make a laugh and a joke to divert attention.

We did some building work this time last year and I must admit Mum is finding it a lot harder to cope with it all this time. The noise in particular seems to be causing problems, so spending as much time as possible out of the house. Visited the gentleman this afternoon and mum stayed there for a couple of hours to see his new chair when it arrived. Had a chance to get tea ready and tidy up a bit for her return, so was a very welcome break.

Fabia here tomorow  so time for some reading. In the process of trying to start up a book club at the moment, so if you are in or near Market Harborough and like beer and books drop me a line. It will be taking place in the Cherry Tree on the 4th Tuesday of each month.
