Plastering, electrics and tiling

Today has been a good day with a fair amount of progress. Let's get to it as I've got plans this evening.

Dutch cuddling Angela

I'll start with a quick picture taken of Dutch with Angela when I got back from dropping Rosie to school Dutch is settling in so well and is such a lovely puppy.

Lots of planting out being done

The men were in and on time and began the day with yet more plastering. I really thought that was done and it made me a little unsure about how well the progress was going. While Halil did the plastering, Bekir was working on the electrics so they could get rid of the power cables providing power to the lights. Angela was also being busy this morning and I managed to get down to get some pictures. One time Dutch was laying in the sun and when he saw me he started to roll over for a belly rub but mis-calculated and he fell off the step. He's so funny and clumsy! In the glass room Angela was planting out a load of seeds and also sorting and tidying the room generally. It was looking great.

Lights are perfect

Working out the tiles

With the interior plastering completed both Bekir and Halil worked together on the electrics and focused on getting the wiring done for the light switch. Halil did get a little distracted with some more plastering as he finished up the little slot window we've added in, but after that he returned to fitting the light. With all three lights fitted it is really well illuminated in there, and now they could work on the tiling. They lined up the laser and found out how much would need trimming as the walls are in no way square. Tomorrow they say they'll get cracking on the tiling so we may be able to start using the cupboard under the stairs soon!

Rosie with a diminished Sammy

Dutch with the old basketball

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures taken after Rosie got back from school. It's been a warm day but Sammy is still hanging on, just about. I was pushing Rosie on the swing when I noticed Dutch with the old basketball and snapped a picture just before he jumped up.

So there it is. Time to go downstairs to finish the first bluray of Return of The King. Thanks for reading and back tomorrow.
